Description
The Child in the Church: A timeless approach to religious education that respects the natural wonder, dignity and spirituality of young children.
The Child in the Church is a foundational collection of essays by pioneering educator Dr. Maria Montessori and her close collaborator, E.M. Standing. First published in 1929, this classic work turns standard religious education on its head. Instead of treating children as empty vessels to be filled with dry adult rules, Montessori reveals how children naturally possess a unique, beautiful capacity to experience God and to relate to him as a son/daughter and a friend.
Inside this book, you will discover:
-
- The Montessori Approach to Faith: How to apply the famous “follow the child” philosophy to spiritual development.
- Hands-On Liturgy: Practical ways to make church traditions, symbols, and prayers concrete and understandable for little hands and minds.
- The Prepared Environment: How to create beautiful, quiet spaces where children can independently explore scripture and worship.
