The Spirit of the Child
“Very, very impressive. Congratulations.” Andrew Greeley
What is the nature of children’s spirituality? What kinds of spiritual experience do children have? The Spirit of the Child explains the fascinating results of a three-year investigation of children’s spirituality. Children are capable of having profound beliefs and meaningful spiritual experience from a very early age. David Hay argues for greater attention to be given to nurturing children’s spirituality as the true source of social and moral cohesion for the future. Dr. Hay directed the Children’s Spirituality Project at the University of Nottingham, England. Rebecca Nye is a research fellow in the Centre for Advanced Religious & Theological Studies at the University of Cambridge.
