You are invited to engage with a draft stimulus paper which offers a theological reflection on the meaning of children and childhood, entitled Children: Close to the Mystery of God. This paper has been prepared as part of the CESA’s Reimagining Childhood initiative. It is offered to Catholic schools and communities across CESA as a stimulus to reflect on childhood in light of our Christian faith and Catholic Tradition in support of the ongoing renewal and transformation of learning, teaching and formation across schools and in CEO services. A copy of the draft stimulus paper is available at this link.

The document is a ‘consultation draft’ and school communities are invited to engage with it and respond with their reflections and suggestions before a final version is published. Responses are welcome to the Theology of the Child Working Party by 28 November.

Thank you.
