- Abstract
- There are limitations in understanding spiritual formation in theories based on stages of faith, or faith development, and in an instructional model of nurturing faith. In a new paradigm, listening to children and their experiences of the presence of God is central. Research included reading based on stage theory, and material that critiques it, proposing other models for spiritual formation; interviews with children in Christian education classes; observation of Montessori classrooms; and incorporating some new models into parish ministry. Children welcome the opportunity to talk about their experiences, their beliefs, and their questions about God, and to teach adults who listen and take them seriously.
