Children's Spirituality and Peace: A Practical Theological Analysis in the Post-War Context of Sri Lanka

Children have their own spirituality through which they live their day-to-day lives. The children in Sri Lanka have faced a great disaster of war and now are getting adapted to the peaceful environment today. Amidst the growing consciousness of the spirituality of a child, this research seeks to find out how the spirituality of children becomes a means for peacebuilding in the post-war context of Sri Lanka. This is also an effort to show the similarities and differences of children’s spirituality in Sri Lanka.  My research aims to answer how the spirituality of war-affected children and non-war-affected children shapes their own lives. The research will provide a synthesis of how children’s spirituality is experienced by children in Sri Lanka.
