Led by: Minister Casey

Minister Casey, who is a parent and a teacher, opens this service by taking a historical look at how children have been raised in the United States. With a focus on the Puritans that moved west, Minister Casey explains the humiliation of children as punishment historically, normality of spankings in the US, and the Christian hold on the school system at all levels.
