Résumé: | Four hundred and seventy three children between 5 and 12 years of age were asked to draw God; they were then invited to explain what they had drawn and to reveal what they knew about God. One-third of the drawings and interviews obtained refer to unorthodox features of divinity; we have gathered these unconventional elements (God is a woman, He has no legs, He brings people food, etc.) in this visual essay illustrated as a dialogue between children who draw God. Conclusions lead to ideas like children are interested in divinity and they seem to be religious before being Christians, in a context characterised by a widening of spirituality. |
