| dc.description.abstract | <p>Unrelenting rural-urban migration across the globe is resulting in the withdrawal of children from interaction with the natural world. This paper builds a case for the intentional inclusion of nature experiences in the faith education of children in a school, church or home context. It explores the role of nature in connecting children with God, and offers practical suggestions for creating spiritual moments that can enhance a child’s relationship with God as they experience the wonder of His creation.</p> | |
