A whole host of problems plaguing young people have only gotten worse over the last 30 years. Perhaps not so coincidentally, Sunday School and church attendance has fallen over this same period. What weve learned is that many supervised activities, such as baseball teams and dance classes, while helpful, are also poor substitutes for parents and family and the development of the spiritual self. Though their influence is important, teams, clubs, teachers and coaches often lack many of the long-term nurturing qualities that families provide to children, and they often reflect secular values, rather than the faith values which lead to spiritual development and church participation.
