Theologizing with Children through Faithful Connections Using the Liturgical Year

• Recent research has shown a decline in how young generations of Christians are formed into a Christian practice in northern European Christian churches. What previously has part of national school curriculum has now transformed into minority traditions outside curriculum. Instead, much of the faith formation is made at home. Previous research has shown, that children in the younger school years often think in theological terms and forms an identity withing their own family’s faith practice. Still, little or no pedagogical training are seldom provided for parents beside Child bibles and prayerbooks for the young – none of them with pedagogical guides. This paper presents an planned research project aimed for children, 6-12 years old, and their parents in the Lutheran Church of Sweden. The aim of the project is to stimulate child-adult dialogue regarding the central themes of Christianity through the use of the liturgical year with the aid of action research.
