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
