Episode #13: Let the Children Come to Me

One of the most active moments at church comes with the call to children’s liturgy, when the parade of children march to the front of the church. They’re so eager to get up there, to talk to the priest and to excitedly raise their hands when they know the answer to his questions. Every Sunday, their eagerness is a solid response to the Gospel of Mark. Dr. Nancy Reeves and Linnea Good, authors of Adventures of the God Detectives, discuss the importance of letting the little children come into the presence of Jesus.
