How can that be done today and not cause disharmony in worship? Or, how can that be done in a way that brings an ‘awe-full’ sense to worship?

I understand your point, and it is very sad to hear of situations where things have become so difficult with screaming babies that a sermon must be cut short. That’s clearly not a situation that honours God or helps a congregation!

What’s with parents today? I never once left church as a child, and with 8 children, I can count on one hand how many times we have needed to leave. I think 90% of the time it’s nothing but a casual stroll about the premises to alleviate boredom.

I don’t want the article hijacked over that phrase. So I’ve removed it. However, I have been in a number of situations where non-stop screaming babies have caused so much disruption that the congregation is distracted for 10 minutes and more, and even the sermons have been cut short.

Could I respectfully suggest that this needs to be re-worded? So some screaming babies mean that God is absent? I’m sure you can’t really believe that, but now any struggling parent reading this is having a massive guilt trip that perhaps their children are driving God away from the worship service. They may well be a terrible distraction, and yes, parents may need to be quicker to take their little darlings out, but after saying “This is a delicate balance requiring much wisdom”, don’t you think your next sentence really needs re-wording if it is to sit comfortably next to that one?
