No church we've ever been to or belonged to does this. One quite large church we were members of years ago had a rule that adults teaching children's classes such as Sunday School, Girls in Action, Royal Ambassadors, etc. could NEVER be in the room alone with the children. There were supposed to be a minimum of 2 adults at all times. I was a teacher for the 1/2 GA's class and all my helpers quit. The church could have cared less about finding any replacements or volunteers and didn't even care about the rule they had in place. It troubled me quite a bit. <BR/><BR/>My little one does not go to church. One of the reasons is because I don't know any of the workers (I am of the understanding it is different people every week). People here just don't seem concerned with background checks and such and always make me feel as though I am too cautious.flmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12781812205765728149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-88017757549697089032008-11-24T13:28:00.000-05:002008-11-24T13:28:00.000-05:00Sounds so beautiful and relaxing!
