You hear a lot these days about making the liturgy accessible and attractive to young people. I much prefer to think in terms of making the practice of Christianity attractive to young people.

In a way it's very patronising to the young to be told by older people that they should introduce their own culture into worship. The young know what to expect in liturgy – let them find their own way.
