have more kids?

A Baptist seminary's president avocates bigger families...
The story is here.

The basic argument is that Muslims and others are out-multiplying Christians.
The seminary president says that Baptists/Christians shouldn't use birth control.
Baptists and Catholics seem to be getting closer and closer.

We Presbyterians are behind the 8-ball too when it comes to fertility.
Our average age is getting older and older.
And unlike Abraham and Sarah, we don't seem to be able to pull off the miracle
of senior citizen conceivability.
Come on, Presbys! You can do it!
Let's have a revival in the bedroom.
Let's all read the Song of Solomon every week with our spouses
and 'go thou and do likewise.'
Let's be known as the fecund faithful.
Let's see if Presbyterians can outnumber Baptists.
Let's put fun back in faith.
Let's put pleasure back in piety.
Let's not have too much 'decency and order.'

Evangelism may just get to be a good word again.
