the birth of a religious person occurs
through the enjoyment of God's love."

About CCT

The spiritual life of Children is the focus of research at the Center for Children and Theology.  It seeks to listen to the voices of children and to explore the theological gifts children have to offer. Reciprocally, the Center seeks the best theology that the community of faith has to offer children today.
