Sometimes when people begin to speak about increasing fertility, attempting to get us off the demographic cliff we are on, the issue of ‘daycare’ comes up.
Yes. I completely agree. I love how natural it is in worship to hear children laughing or crying and such with all in attendance still focused on the sermon and privately appreciating the warmth that children bring to church. I was sickened the other day when my wife and I were invited to a wedding only to be informed that children were not allowed! What?! It seems like bad luck to ban children from such a joyous occasion that looks to bring future children into the world. In some parts of the world, children are encouraged to come and if there are none directly available from the immediate family, families might even pay their neighbors to come and bring their kids.
