Exploring The Spirituality of childhood Proceedings of the First National Conference on the Spiritual Life of Children Authors: Vivian Gussin Paley, Wade Clark Roof, Jane P. Ward Editor: Gerard A. Pottebaum
This is a rare resource not only for teachers, social workers, professional childcare-givers, but also for individuals who want to better understand the influence of childhood experiences on their own spiritual lives as adults. These proceedings provide a unique chance to enter an interfaith, intercultural dialogue that explores the significance of childhood experiences of the sacred and the influences of society, family, and institutional religion on the child’s original experiences of God. Lively reading and a rich resource, the work provides the thoughts of representatives from every major religious tradition and culture.
