"[B]y Patti Carlisle".

Includes bibliographical references.

"Surely we don't want our children influences by the loudest voices of the mass media, making us into passive consumers. We need to recapture something our ancestors knew was essential for survival but which in recent years we have failed to hear -- the 'living of our Christian Story' through home rituals, designed to hand on our precious faith, beliefs, values and identity. .... As we venture into preparation let us remember that 'ritual' is play -- an agreed upon pattern of meaningful, dramatized play, and should be enjoyable, not dead, dull boring ! So with true Christian lightheartedness plan for Home Rituals based on centuries of 'Story and Symbol; which have guided Christians on their journeys in good and bad times, but let's gear them to today's fun loving children and adults". -- p. 1.

"The 'Traditions' included here are mainly a series of articles published in my monthly column 'For Children's Sake' in The Huron Church News in 1990-91" -- p. 1.
