Abstract
To acknowledge the complexity of issues facing persons, cultures, and societies in our rapidly changing world is obvious. However, what is not so apparent is specificity related to the most vulnerable members of society during times of transition—the children and youth. The fact of belonging to a minority group (children) within a dominant adult culture is a hermeneutical reality requiring reflection and articulation. One of the major discoveries in the field of faith-based initiatives in the last decade is the critical invisibility of children as a subject of the religious academy.
