The MECC Unit on Education & Renewal/Family Education Program held a one-day seminar on May 25, on Family life challenges with adolescents, at the Lutheran Church in Amman, Jordan. The seminar raised awareness about the challenges and issues of adolescence and on the positive role parents could play through understanding and learning about their adolescents, and through listening to and dialoguing with them. The methodology adopted by the seminar included small group discussions, talks and the projection of a 15 minutes film produced by the ecumenical youth committee in Jordan. Participants recommended that these ecumenical gatherings be multiplied and asked that MECC member churches organize and adopt similar activities in the future, for the benefit of their congregations.
