Subject: Babies and young children a distraction? |
Bible Note: Nolan: Yours is a good posting with several good points. It is my opinion that if a local church decided by majority vote that a rule be posted and enforced calling for the supervion of children by their parents, then that church would indeed have the right to enforce the will of the majority. The announcement of the rule in all fairness ought to include a warning that repeated non-compliance will result in certain consequences. The use of discreetly worded, discreetly placed signs would serve to deprive a parent of using ignorance as an excuse for non-compliance. Of course, Christian charity, tact, respect and patience should be present in every enforcement of violations of the rule. "Is that necessary?" Unfortunately it has become necessary in our society to make laws and rules to get people to do what they should have had the common courtesty and common sense to do without rules. |
