theology of children in postmodern worship...
just want to throw out an idea that john & i kicked around a bit this weekend...in our church, we have all ages in our worship service: from babies to the oldest. here's why:
i want to raise my own child in the context of "the church" as family, a movement of all ages, instead of the concept of "church" as babysitting and "big church". traditional christians that "try" (consumer-oriented; "great band", "relevant" teaching type comments) our church love it -- unless they have kids..then they want to drop them off in a "class" for the hour.
as we kicked this around, john brought up Jesus' words about bringing the children to Him. we laughed that he didn't appoint Andrew a children's pastor, Peter for youth, etc. etc.
any thoughts? anyone else working through this in the corporate worship setting?
