Opportunity was given for a cross-section of young students, who had served as volunteers at the Lambeth Conference, to address the bishops and ask and answer questions.
Asked how the bishops could help the students, a young man replied:
'You can guide us so we don't make the same mistakes you have made.. We want to be part of the Church and there is nothing you can do to chase us out!'
This is the crux of mentoring - the handing down of experience and wisdom from one generation to another.
But I am more impressed with the student's determination to be part of the Church - a common expression I have heard across our Province of Southern Africa.
Would you agree with this student?

I parly agree with the student that young people are beinging labeled by society and even by the church, badly. Young people need the church leaders to be more like Christ than themseves.
