Gentle Christian Mothers Community - View Single Post - Ted Tripp is coming to my church for a Parenting seminar

Probably not what you want to hear...but my husband and I recently left our church because they were sponsoring a Tedd Tripp seminar. It was last weekend. We tried for 6 months to raise concerns, and kept getting blown off. Finally things started rolling with responding to us, but we kept being told that we were "taking things out of context" (no specific examples given though of what we were taking out of context), that we should just submit to the authority of our church, and finally our pastor told my husband that he DID believe than an 8 month old could be rebellious and should be spanked. That was pretty much the end of discussion--we left.
