When I Was a Child: Children's Interpretations of First Communion
ISBN: 9780807856338 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. First Communion is generally understood as a rite of passage in which seven- and eight-year-old Catholic children transform from baptized participants in the Church to members of the body of Christ, the universal Catholic Church.

In When I Was a Child, Susan Ridgely Bales demonstrates that the accepted understanding of a religious ritual can shift dramatically when one considers the often neglected perspective of child participants.
Bales followed Faith Formation classes and... First Communion is generally understood as a rite of passage in which seven- and eight-year-old Catholic children transform from baptized participants...
