May 2007 – The Downwards
The first series of the Children’s Work edition of Journeys in the Spirit focuses on exploring spirituality with children. There are four directions to our spiritual journey: inwards to ourselves; outwards to others; upwards or further inwards towards God, the deeper mystery; downwards to the world we live in.
Children often have a natural wonder and love for the world. This issue explores ways to express that and open it out: to value creation and the earth, to understand the way in which the environment is being hurt, and to consider how the earth can be helped.
