"Particularly problematic for children has been the way in which religious educators have used developmental theories of faith development to equate faith with a cognitive understanding of religious concepts." Real Kids, Real Faith by Karen Marie Yust p. 3
"The Jewish and Christian scriptures emphasize this multisensory relationship of the divine with humanity. They repeatedly tell of God choosing to act in ways that highlight a person's or community's inability to make cognitive sense of God's activity." p.7
"Our role, then, as parents and adults who work with children, is to introduce and support spiritual practices that serve to mix and knead faith into the dough of children's lives." p. 10
