More and more I'm running into young people that have asocial conscience. Teens and young adults who are aware of the injustice in this world and have a desire to do something about it. They see the poverty, hunger, suffering and oppressionand refuse to sit and watch. My question is how do we raise kids like this? What can parents do to help make this the norm rather then the exception? The next question is how do we become a church thet nurtures this type of young person and provides a place of spiritual formation that encourages them? Any ideas?

Well, first of all, I think you have to take kids to see what poverty is really like. You have to teach them about the causes of poverty and what can be done. You have to help them deal with the guilt of being the "haves" instead of the "have-nots."
