Summary:One hundred years of research related to children's spirituality and religion are surveyed for key themes, with the conclusion that serious theological work is needed to complement existing research.

Open dialogue related to children's spiritual development and experience, and cooperative development of research programs across these disciplines and others, are likely to produce innovative topics and approaches to this important area of work.
