I will read the entire article later, but agreed with the casual dress problem. I went to my childhood church and one child in front was tossing around a paper airplane (the pastor's kid :( and one parent had her son STAND on the upholstered pew cusions so he could "see" the choir better. Not surprisingly, society's loose casual nature has leaked into the church. Think of how Ronald Reagan honored the White House, he never entered the Oval Office without a suit jacket and tie. Now think of how we treat the church. That is not to say that ragged people can't be believers. But there is a difference between poverty and simple sloppy laziness. However, no matter what the congregation wears, it is NOT on my mind during the service :)

Uhhhh... yeah. Obviously.

What is wrong with standing a small child in a pew to see better? Isn't the point to be training them in your set of beliefs, and isn't understanding what is going on important enough to you to accomodate them when they're too short to see and hold interest?
