Talk:LIFE TEEN
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shouldn't we move the page, to LIFETEEN (LIFE TEEN)? --Dpr
Yes. I'm anon and can't move it, though.--67.149.77.77 21:56, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
Perhaps add some information about the type of music played at Life Teen Masses? Tvaughn05 05:04, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Adding some details
Don't know if needed but I miss:
-Focus on Eucharist (source & summit), relational ministry, dedication to Mary.
-Sticking to (positively as I see it) Roman-Catholic laws (so no 'semi-Catholicism') and liturgy
-Locations of LifeTeen. I know there is some also in Canada, SouthAfrica, Australia, Asia, Europe (Germany, Italy). In Netherlands, LifeTeen is also expanding from 2 to 4 (or even 6) in the near future.
Over Wikipedia, I am missing articles about central people of Life Teen: Matt Maher, Randy Raus, Lisa Epperson, Phil Baniewicz, Tom Booth (and their links in either LifeTeen and CCM-articles). I believe these are the founders of the new era of Catholicism and articles may become necessary in the future.
As this is the English version and not the Dutch one, I do not know if this info is relevant and how to write this all objectively.
Just a quick note: As posted on LT.com, the name is now "Life Teen", not all caps. Edits made on page. Also, my 'summary' of the new name change may be insufficient or unclear. Someone else probably could spruce it up nicer? Also, would it plausible to put a new screen shot of LifeTeen.com? The new layout has changed drastically from the posted picture. Anyone?

[edit] Objections?
I am surprised that no one has written an opposition article to this? As a Conservative Traditionalist Catholic I despise the approach that lifeteen has given to the Eucharist. It is a loss of catholic identity! I refuse to write anything about the objections to Lifeteen because of my extreme bias against it but there are many young males and females like me who are longing for the return to a more solemn tradition mass.

- I'm guessing that the traditional masses are still held, right? My impression is that this "life teen" is an optional extra. Hang on..... are you serious? :p

[edit] Fr. Dale Fushek
Although there's a link to Fr. Dale Fushek, it seems there should at least be a brief note about the fact that the founder of LifeTeen is currently awaiting trial on some pretty extreme sex-abuse charges. Wasn't there also a related scandal with Fr. Fushek's lawyer being on the Board of Directors of LifeTeen? These are just some items that should be investigated and included in the interest of full-disclosure.
>Maybe we can also put notes about all good people that founded Life Teen. I think there are more good stories than bad ones... Fr Dale Fushek is already being trialed for these acts, and Life Teen is now being led by other people.
It seems to me, although scandalous, the accusation against Fushek are still part of the Life Teen story and should be included. Information could also be included about how the Life Teen organization responded the the scandal.
