What will continue is that YS will be theologically diverse. One of our distinctives is a deep love of the church, the whole church. We don't just appeal to DTS grads and others from the evangelical heritage. (cough, secular fundamentalists like me and you) YS appeals to mainliners, liberals, indie fundies, backwoods Pentecostals, prosperity gospelers, Catholics... and everything in between. There are other YM orgs out there... but just about all of them lean one way or the other. Most, if not all, are tied to a denomination or came out of a specific denominational heritage which heavily peppers how they do stuff today. YS tries its best to love 'em all.

I know Marko and Tic pretty well. Both men love Jesus. Both men love the church. And both men believe that awesome things happens when you schmush people who disagree theologically together but agree that they love the church and that they love kids.
