And so we are gathered here today for a very special occasion. To welcome this child into the world and into our Christian community and as Ben will soon discover, it's a far from perfect world. Indeed, so far from perfect, that some people won't even bring a child into it at all. That's not a theory I subscribe to, for as troubled as it is by catastrophes of all kinds. By war and poverty and injustice, this world is still a pretty wonderful place to be. And how much the world needs its children, Ben, and all the others, with their energy and optimism, their imagination, their dreams. Our children are our gift to the future. How important then is our task of caring for them, nurturing them and surrounding them with love, so that they in turn will know how to care for and love others.
