About ECHOES

   At the root of the word "catechesis" is "echo". God's love is echoed throughout creation and throughout history, recorded in the Bible, and celebrated in Liturgy. In catechesis this love is echoed not only to the children but from the children. With this publication we hope to bring you echoes from the children to deepen our understanding of both the child and God, and to share the wealth of children's spirituality with the whole church.

Below you will find a list of past Echoes, along with some samples of the artwork and articles featured in this publication.

Starting in 2011, each issue of Echoes will increase in size to 8 pages!
Issues will be published twice a year.

The Center for Children and Theology publishes
2 issues of Echoes per year for $16.
