Thanks for your comment, Sarah!  Appreciate you taking time out of paper writing to read this and respond!  I'm wading into researching Paul's theology of the Lord's Supper for a paper myself, understand the academic time crunch well (and its Holy Week on top of it all!).

You are definitely right to point out that our answers to the "relevance" question will be, in some sense, dependent on our context.  Which is part of what relevance is about!  I like the idea of turning the issue around, asking youth to explain what they find meaningful about the things that interest them.

Your second thought is also really interesting.  I think challenging youth to engage with a practice that is "out of the ordinary" for them can be really helpful to their spiritual development.  Thanks for a great example of that!  And good luck on the Jeremiah paper!  Look forward to hearing more of your thoughts when you get the chance/need another study break!
