Christian Endeavour was arguably the largest and most influential worldwide youth movement. Founded in the USA by Francis E Clarke in 1881, the first Australian Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavour was formed in Geelong in 1883.
This lecture examines the origins, strategy, and influence of Christian Endeavour in Australia, and considers the lessons to be learned from this history. How might Clarke’s approach of mutual accountability, high commitment, and every member service still be helpful as we consider our ministry practices and values today?
