CFP: "The Spirituality of Children at War" International Journal of Children’s Spirituality, Volume (15) 2010

This issue will investigate children's spirituality in times of war. The focus will be upon the relationships between children's spirituality and their encounter with trauma, viciousness and atrocity. War will be understood in the widest sense and cover the full range of terrorist attacks, political and religious violence, mass traumatic events, the direct exposure to destruction, chaos, viciousness, atrocity in civil, political, social and cultural arenas and their environmental context.
