Really energized after several days of fascinating conversations with so many people including @TimBeilharz & @robinbarfield78 at @Childrensspirit
So grateful for a space for thoughtfulness, curiosity, and respectful dialogue around children and their lives with Jesus.

“Children are not passive recipients of the Christian faith; they are active meaning makers, engaging in the process of understanding and responding to God's presence in their lives, in the lives of others, and in the world.” -Rev Dr Tanya Marie Eustace Campen #AChildsWay24

“Parents are saying "please do not put any more pressure on me." So how do we come alongside parents without adding more pressure?” -Tanya Marie Eustace Campen, #AChildsWay24

“We need to think about what we are communicating and not communicating with children.”

“The world is more diverse and we need to be paying attention to this.”

[Children's Spirituality Summit @Childrensspirit]

“Does the church have anything to say about the diverse world we live in?”
“What is the church doing to socialize children not just in religiosity and theology but also into everything else around us including race and gender?” @henryjz, #AChildsWay24

[Children's Spirituality Summit @Childrensspirit]

We can’t wait to hear Henry Zonio, @henryjz, teach on “A Child’s Way in a Diverse World” this morning at 9! #CSS24 #AChildsWay24

Six years after our last in-person gathering, to see 180+ folks gathered around dinner tables for discussion and encouragement is an absolute gift. Praise God! We have loved our online gatherings, but to share a meal together is a DELIGHT. #AChildsWay24, #CSS24
