I recently became a First Day teacher and became a part of our Religious Education Committee.

At our February Meeting for Business and other Committee Meetings this topic is a constant.

Over the past month more families with infants have attending. So a Friend suggested that we turn an unused room into a nursery. And everyone at meeting is all for it.

I've been attending my local Meeting for Worship most Sundays and although we are mostly 50+ there is a dad comes along some weeks with his toddler daughter. She chirrups away as she plays, but I sense in a subdued way, aware that *something* is special about all the grown-up sitting quietly. Initially I inwardly 'tutted' as this noise, but now I and other Friends in Meeting are accepting and experience our youngster's play noises as an addition to the stillness of waiting.
