A recent BBC Investigation highlighted the possiblity of abuse to children involved in exorcisms in churches in London, originating from Africa.

Although I have never seen anything like this in my church, it did cause me to wonder how far we go to protect our own children within the church and also what legislation may one day come from government, limiting the way we pray with children and express our faith.

I am also involved in prayer ministry, and while we have never yet prayed for anyone under 18, that day will soon come. It highlights for me the need to have protection in place both for ourselves and the children, but also hoping that the government doesn’t limit the workings of God in any way.
