One of the largest churches in the state — Mars Hill Church — is bringing in a Christian parenting author whose advocacy of spanking young children is creating a stir.
The author, Tedd Tripp, says in his book "Shepherding a Child's Heart" that "God calls parents to spank their children."
Tripp will speak at what is being billed as a biblical parenting conference tonight and Saturday morning. His workshops will be held at Mars Hill's Ballard campus and simulcast to four of its six other campuses, in West Seattle, Lake City, Shoreline and Bellevue.

The general feeling here in Seattle is that we do not want a man who advocates spanking small infants into submission to be let loose on our town.
ReplyDeletePerhaps a better title for this post would be "A Hornet in the Seattle Nest".
Why don't you pay him $3000.00 and have him come and teach Canadians how to bare their kids and whip them with paddles?
So repulsive.
