Welcome to the ICBE
Teaching cannot just be a job; it remains a calling in the face of the diversity of young people. Giving young people a voice in the church is one of the special challenges all over the world if the church is to have a future. The church has to listen to the youth, find answers to the fears and worries of the youth and be socially involved.
Let this task begin!
