Dear Editor,
There is another aspect to the subject of whether children should stay in all the way through church services as proposed by Kiprotich Chelashaw in his letter in the August issue of EN.
In many churches children do not leave until after the Lord’s Prayer has been said. Then, in their own classes, they learn scriptural truths in a way they can understand. It is for good reason that we do not teach the GCSE syllabus to primary school children. The children have their own teacher to relate to and to get to know. Their parents are better able to concentrate on the message without the distraction of their children.
