Many of you noted that the Issues in Youth Ministry series started with no female presence. This wasn’t intentional by any means, just that there are not many female youth worker bloggers and the ones I contacted never got back to me. However, since the series started several women have since e-mailed me saying they’d be willing to throw in their two cents. After some dialog, I’m excited to introduce the following three women to the line-up:

• Heidi Abbott, Pastor of Youth Ministry at Church of the Harvest in Olathe, Kansas.
• Dot Gosling, Professor of Christian Youth Work & Applied Theology at University of Chester in the United Kingdom.
• Abby Fox, youth director at Harvest Presbyterian Church in Ceres, CA.

More may be introduced along the way.
