medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Does anyone know articles or accounts of the attitude and presence of
children in church. (I am thinking here of the practicalities of children
in church during services.) As the father of an active 3 year old who can
explore or enjoy playing with toys in the church it struck me that I can't
think of Medieval English examples of people commenting on children in
church. Were children excluded, segregated, ignored or accepted and
tolerated. I suspect the latter but have no examples one way or the other.
