Welcoming Children develops a theology of childhood both from a
theological perspective and from practical experience in children
and youth ministry. The author draws insights from classic and
modern feminist theologians, pastoral theologians, and contemporary
cultural criticism to offer strategies for educational and
liturgical practices in congregations that welcome children and
contribute to their flourishing. Mercer outlines a feminist
practical theology of childhood exploring five basic theological
claims: 1) children as gifts and parenting as a religious practice
of stewardship; 2) welcoming those who care for children; 3)
children as fully human; 4) children as part of God's purposes; and
5) acknowledging and transforming the sufferings of children. Her
compelling argument reframes ministries with children as processes
through which the church can become the foundation for children
forming identities that resist consumerist culture and instead walk
in the ways of Jesus.
