The Y Course exists because the gap between those inside the church and those outside gets ever wider.

As a result, those outside the Church –

• No longer know our stories or speak our language
• Are not asking the questions we most want to answer
• Would like to be ‘talked with’ rather than ‘talked to’
• Have little time for religion but are open to being spiritual

• The content comes mainly from the Gospels – the texts created with a view to people finding faith in Jesus and following him
• Doesn’t start with the subject of Christianity but begins with issues about life itself
• Takes time to establish what God must be like – giving meaning to conversations about Jesus actually being God
• Puts the focus on knowing Jesus and becoming his disciple
• Gives people lots of time to think through the issues before presenting them with the choices involved
