"I'm bored" and "I can't worship when my child is with me in worship" seem to be the only voices being heard as the matter of children and congregational worship is addressed. However, Always in Rehearsal tackles this issues head-on. In his book, Ritchie helps congregations to include, not exclude, children in all aspects of worship. He teaches leaders new ways to think about including children in congregational worship, so that leaders can live with and model appropriately our understanding of the inclusive family of God. He does not exclude or excuse children from worship, rather, he helps leaders find new, more effective and more satisfying ways to include all of God's children in congregational worship.
