Back to Statement

Children were of central importance in Christ's teaching about the new social order. When he spoke about children Jesus confirmed their status as human beings.

A major implication for Christians today and for the way we care for our children, is the personal example of Jesus, who in his teaching about the Kingdom focused on respect for children.
