It is certainly true, for children whose experience of adults is that they are often out of control, that the idea of a higher power that can be trusted is relieving. Especially for severely attachment impaired children, the routine of church attendance and worship of an all-powerful higher being contributes to a sense of well-being in the worlds of home and family. At least until the teen years!
I bet that last point will get a thread going for the group......
