According to statistics, there is a diminishing amount of young people involved in the church. The Synod Youth Forum has expressed its intentions to contest this fact. The Forum was held 19-20 April with more than 40 young participants.
With the intention to give young people an opportunity to let their voices be heard in the church, the Synod Office organised a Youth Forum, targeting age groups between 16 and 23. The Forum was designed following an already well-functioning pattern, the Scottish Youth Assembly.
