Mike Yaconelli (1942–2003) — Jugendpastor · Evangelikal · USA
Der US-amerikanische Jugendpastor, Autor und Satiriker Mike Yaconelli (1942–2003) prägte ab Ende der 1960er-Jahre von Kalifornien aus die moderne christliche Jugendarbeit und gründete die Organisation Youth Specialties. Er stand für eine Theologie der unvollkommenen Spiritualität und kritisierte mit dem Satiremagazin „The Wittenburg Door“ religiöse Heuchelei sowie geistlichen Leistungsdruck. Während konservative Kritiker an seinem provokanten Stil und dogmatischer Unschärfe Anstoß nahmen, erinnert sein Werk Bibelleser heute an die radikale Annahme des Menschen durch Gottes Gnade trotz eigener Schwachheit.
