"The Church needs young people for the present and the future. Today the Church is not attracting them as it should, and yet research indicates that young people are just as ready as they have ever been to respond to noble causes. In Christ's vision of the Kingdom, the Church has the most noble cause imaginable, if only it can link this vision with the Church. If young people are to be treated with seriousness, they must be included in the forums of the Church at every level."
