I’ve enjoyed getting to know Catherine Maresca through Children, Youth and a New Kind of Christianity. Catherine was a valuable member of the “On the Ground” panel, led by Michael Novelli and Amy Dolan, and she hosted a booth about the Center for Childhood and Theology (CCT), which she serves as director.
One of the projects of CCT is the Children’s Interfaith Center, the purpose of which is ”to help children deeply rooted in their own faith develop understanding and respect for other traditions.” Learn about their great work and resources at http://www.cctheo.org/cic.html. We need more pioneers like Catherine who want to help children develop a faith that is strongly rooted in their own tradition yet open to getting to know people who practice different faiths.
