Abstract

The project begins with an overview of the family in society and church. The second chapter focuses on Biblical and theological perspectives. The issues of patriarchy, child care options for newborns, and the church's involvement are discussed. The thesis: clergy have more flexible daytime schedules, making it possible for caring for their infants during the day. The project details clergy experience and summarizes non-random purposive sampling of other clergy to determine their infant care solutions. The project concludes with evaluation summaries from local church members and implications concerning newborn care in the church and the wider society.
