Christian Orientation group (COG)

Following to the Guiding Principles of the YMCA Europe:

"Emphasise the Christian identity and mission of the YMCA as an ecumenical lay movement, working independent of, but in cooperation with the churches. Constantly analyse what our Christian identity and mission means in today's European and global realities and translate it into action in these contexts."

The Main Objective of Youth Spirituality is to:

"Analyse how today's young people experience the religious and spiritual dimension in their life, and promote YMCA model-programmes and ecumenical approaches which in holistic ways express relevant forms of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ."

Along these Lines the Main Objectives of the Christian Orientation Group are

• to facilitate an expression of true Christian Community which in a variety of holistic ways expresses relevant forms of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ
• to further develop creative ways of expressing Christian Community and ecumenical approaches between Christian denominations during EAY GAs
• to organise events every second year discussing model programmes and issues related to the Christian dimension of the YMCA
