Book: Children in the Worshiping Community

by David Ng and Virginia Thomas. John Knox Press, 1981. 156 pp.

This book has become somewhat of a standard text and remains one of the best guides on children and (or rather in) worship. Sensitive to biblical models, Reformed theology, and child development, the authors present a compelling case for children as full participants in worship. Ng and Thomas recognize that such inclusiveness requires deliberate effort on the part of the home and the church. They suggest routes for moving congregations in that direction.

Rev. Harry Boonstra (1935-2017) was a theological editor of RW and emeritus theological librarian of Calvin University and Calvin Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan. (2024-08)
