| Summary: | Rather than forbidding the participation of children in various spiritual life practices and pursuits, the Christian Celts were careful to encourage and nurture the spiritual gifts of their children.

Studying the spirituality of children in the context of this unique Christian tradition offers relevant implications for understanding the spiritual, emotional, and relational formation of today's children. |
