Re: Christianity Today editorial on TTUAC and spanking
it sounds like a worthwhile read--unfortunately with the "creative corrections" comment at the end I get the feeling the adversarial undertones are still alive and strong I don't understand why the Christian world at large--the world that claims to "live" because of Grace--a free gift of unmerited favor--still feels the need to exact justice from the least of these

Re: Christianity Today editorial on TTUAC and spanking
If it's the quote in the OP, I didn't get "creative correction" from that. I got a challenge to use our brains toward a biblical goal.

Re: Christianity Today editorial on TTUAC and spanking
Right, TK.
The article didn't read like you're thinking, AOL (perhaps because of the book of the same name...?). I think it was really taking the side of the Webb book, but without trying alienate spanking parents. I realize that might not be the "best" approach - especially for GCMers who feel so strongly on the topic - but I thought CT did the best it could.

Quote:
I was equating "creative" with "creative corrections" because I've seen so many people, in their efforts to not be gung ho spanking, shift into other creepy directions Like I said, it sounds like a worthwhile article I hope they get it up online so I can read it

Re: Christianity Today editorial on TTUAC and spanking
Someone scanned the article and sent me the pdf of it. Would it violate copyright if I were to upload it and offer it on my blog?

Re: Christianity Today editorial on TTUAC and spanking
My mind went to the same place as Arms of Love. In part because the tone sounded like the one I had when I was punitive, but did not want to spank. And in part because to me, "Creative Correction" will forever be Lisa Whelchel's book.

Re: Christianity Today editorial on TTUAC and spanking
If nothing else, the article brings some attention to Webb's book. Hopefully curious parents will read it.
It would be nice to see CT give a more in-depth treatment of discipline, corporal punishment and the church. Maybe some letters to the editor are in order. |

It would be a copyright violation, wouldn't it?

Re: Christianity Today editorial on TTUAC and spanking
It would. It absolutely would.
You could beg them to put it on CT's site, then link to it.
