The Society for Children's Spirituality: Christian Perspectives is an educational organization exploring factors that contribute to the spiritual development of children. We accomplish this by examining biblical-theological perspectives, empirical research, pedagogical approaches, and children's issues related to social justice.

At each triennial conference scholars present their research, and best ministry practices are featured. Conferences in 2003, 2006, and 2009 were held at Concordia University and were sponsorred by Christian organizations. Two volumes have resulted (Donald Ratcliff, Holly Catterton Allen) and a third is in progress (Chris Boyatzis). [Additional details are available by using the links at the left.]

Additionally, through our website www.childspirituality.org [and the support site at www.childspirituality.ning.com], we provide a forum to dialogue with others that represent a diversity of perspectives. We encourage continued exploration and scholarship in the area of children's spiritual formation by mentoring graduate students who are engaged in research.
