I do think youth ministry can be very rewarding, especially when you respect and enjoy the participants, and when you are helping provide them with tools for the life (as you do in OWL). Also, I took Racializing Whiteness too, and not only was it eye-opening at the time, but I still find myself making connections back to ideas and books from the class even though it's been several years.

Done wrongly and without a spirit of mutual understanding, with the gloves off, it does become a tit-for-tat battle royal. I'm glad that has not been your experience. One day, when the time is right, I will post about the battle royal I observed. The manner by which AO/AR is presented is, as you note, crucial.
