The second day of the seminar dealt with the rethinking of Youth Ministry. Fr Marcello Baek, Provincial YM Delegate, offered three topics to occupy the day's discussions: encountering the world and culture of youth; evangelising by educating in the culture of our time; an all-round, coordinated youth ministry. After the presentation of each topic participants were able to share in-depth from their own wealth of experience as pastors of the young, discussing the challenges and possibilities for YM today.
Fr Nam organised this part of the seminar as a follow-up to the Annual Regional meeting of YM Delegates for EAO in Jakarta in March 2012. Those who took part in the seminar decided to continue the process of rethinking at the local community level. The YM Commission will accompany the rethinking process in all communities.
Then on 24 August, Fr Michael Chang, provincial economer, spoke on the topic of evangelical poverty. After his presentation those present took up some of the focal points for evangelical poverty. This discussion brought the seminar to its conclusion and Fr Wong then met with the Provincial Council to discuss the preparatory document for the extraordinary visitation prepared by the Provincial and his council.
