Mark Griffiths has used Raikes' pioneering work in examining child evangelism in the UK. Working from extensive local and national research (leading to a PhD), he considers how children 'tick', what basic theology is at work in Christian outreach, and what constitutes best practice in child evangelism. His text is studded with insights and observations, and brings together the author's passion for his subject with the rigour of careful research. This is an unparalleled resource, laying the foundations of future growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments 11\u003cbr\u003eIssues of Ethics 13\u003cbr\u003eForeword 15\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe History and Prac tice of Children’s Outreach\u003cbr\u003e1 Robert Raikes and the Sunday School Movement 23\u003cbr\u003eRobert Raikes\u003cbr\u003eRobert Raikes’ England\u003cbr\u003eRaikes’ model of child evangelism (1780–1800)\u003cbr\u003e2 Child Evangelism at the End of the Twentieth Century 57\u003cbr\u003e‘Fifties Freefall’?\u003cbr\u003eAll-age worship\u003cbr\u003eBill Wilson and the Metro Sunday School\u003cbr\u003eMidweek attendance\u003cbr\u003e3 Child Evangelism in the Twenty-first Century 67\u003cbr\u003eThe questionnaire\u003cbr\u003eAnalysis\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003e4 Four Key Projects 80\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eThe Fraserburgh project\u003cbr\u003eThe Leeds project\u003cbr\u003eThe Hastings project\u003cbr\u003eThe Liverpool project\u003cbr\u003e5 The Slough and Windsor Project 109\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eThe Saturday club\u003cbr\u003eHome visits\u003cbr\u003eSchool visits\u003cbr\u003eSmall groups\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003cbr\u003eConnecting with the Unchurched Child\u003cbr\u003e6 Theology 145\u003cbr\u003eThe spiritual state of the pre-evangelized child\u003cbr\u003eChild evangelism as Christian education\u003cbr\u003eChild evangelism as encounter\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003e7 Sociology 206\u003cbr\u003eSocial environment and influences on the child\u003cbr\u003eThe state of the church\u003cbr\u003e8 Practice 228\u003cbr\u003eProfessional teachers\u003cbr\u003eHymn-singing and prayer\u003cbr\u003eRewards, prizes and incentives\u003cbr\u003eConnection between Children’s Outreach Project and parents\u003cbr\u003eMeeting a clear social need and empowerment\u003cbr\u003eCommunication\u003cbr\u003eConnection between Children’s Outreach Project and church\u003cbr\u003eConnection between Children’s Outreach Project and local\u003cbr\u003eschools\u003cbr\u003e9 Conclusions and Recommendations 285\u003cbr\u003e1 Methodology and Literature Review 301\u003cbr\u003e2 The Self-completion Questionnaire 311\u003cbr\u003e3 Survey and Quantitative Research (Phase 2): 314\u003cbr\u003eNew Zealand and Australia\u003cbr\u003eBibliography 321\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SPCK Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50470255067479,"sku":"9781854249296","price":14.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781854249296.jpg?v=1744897808","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/one-generation-from-extinction-how-the-church-connects-with-the-unchurched-child-9781854249296","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
