Crying babies in church

[Judas Maccabeus]

I truly wonder why some of these topics need to be explored. The proper solutions have been long worked out
Obviously, not every solution is immediately at hand at every type of church right away but…


First, we do NOT want to be like the Hutterites who do not include children in services. Jesus command is clear.

A congregation regardless of denomination should have, or work on, having a mother’s room. Lots of names for them
One should never compel people to use I. Let the parents decide.

Every church needs some ushers and even the equivalent of a female usher (whatever the title) who can politely help usher folks to the mother room. Note the word help…not command.

IAnyone who objects to mild noise, such as a baby crying gently. Background noise from a child dropping their book, etc. needs to remember that is the future

We meet in a decommissioned Catholic Church. We took walls out of the confessionals on each side of the sanctuary, and are using them for that purpose. They work well. The red and green lights add a unique touch.
