Re: Churches or denominations that promote Grace-based Parenting
I was going to say that ime, the UMC has been a fan of not spanking. Ours does encourage use of time outs, grounding and such, but it's a start.

Re: Churches or denominations that promote Grace-based Parenting
Holy Moly, I had no idea that the AOG churches followed Pearl, Ezzo, and Tripp. YUCK!!!

Re: Churches or denominations that promote Grace-based Parenting
We go to the Church of Christ, and they preach grace and forgiveness and love, but apparently only for adults. The kids have very nice sunday school classes and bible hour classes, but I've been very nervous about leaving my children in the care of people who think it's okay to hit children. Not that I think they would, but it's just that mindset, you know? I haven't been to church in over 2 months. Lately because I've been sick, but mostly because I just don't know if I even want to go to this church anymore. Thankfully they don't teach Pearl, but they do teach Dobson. I have also talked to several members and they are all pro spanking. It just makes me very uneasy. And there is NO way my husband would ever go to a different church. So we're kinda stuck there

Re: Churches or denominations that promote Grace-based Parenting
We're Anglican (Episcopalian). My favorite homily/sermon a couple of years ago started off with the definition of discipline - that it means to disciple, or to teach, not punish. Our childrens' Sunday Paper has a note to parents on the back on how to talk about that week's Gospel Lesson and if it's about discipline, or behavior, it supports GBD. I love my church.

This has really been my experience too. Growing up in the LCMS, my family's church was very pro-Dobson. But our current congregation just finished a Grace-Based Parenting class and is starting a new series from Kevin Leman. From what I could find of him here, he's at least on the decent list. This is a very large LCMS congregation with a lot of people with child-development backgrounds. I think that might make a difference.

Re: Churches or denominations that promote Grace-based Parenting
You will find very punitive parents everywhere.....
However, the UMC has put it on the record that we are NOT in favor of corporal punishment. This means, for one thing, that the Pearls' books are NOT welcome in our church library. (Of course, the fact that [ahem, cough, cough] this woman named [ahem, cough, cough] Zooey is the librarian also tends to keep their poison out of members' hands.
