Carlton Johnstone is the national youth ministry development leader for the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa, New Zealand. He lives in Wellington with his wife, Sarah, and children, Max and Holly.
""Carlton makes an important contribution to our understanding of what is going on with those in our congregations who are under thirty-five years old. . . . He makes connections between the life-stories of young adults interviewed and serious philosophical and sociological research. His application of this to the worship, community, rituals, preaching, and culture of church life is insightful and should be engaged with by anyone seriously concerned about the present and future of the church."" --Mark Pierson, author, The Art of Curating Worship ""Johnstone offers real stories that inspire participation in the journey of faith and pilgrimage through the realities of what an embedded faith entails, the lack of 'perfection' in every context as well as the surprising growth that occurs sometimes where we least expect it."" --Allister Lane, Minister, St. John's in the City Presbyterian Church, Wellington ""Earthed in the . . . faith journeys of young adults Embedded Faith is a deeply reflective analytical study of how they both view and engage in church. As the young adults interviewed wrestle with faith, community, worship, and preaching, there are both profound insights and wonderfully practical conclusions--I had my eyes opened, heart softened, and thinking challenged in this important and timely work."" --James Bradford, Pastor, Hillview Evangelical Church, Gloucester
