The Church and the Incubator

// August 1st, 2007 // Article

I just read The Church and the Incubator, a wonderful article on Wrecked for the Ordinary by Adrienne Ashby.  Adrienne talks about a midwife in South Africa that has mothers of premature babies keep skin-to-skin contact with them instead of placing them in a mechanical, lonely, incubator. She then goes on to speak of Western churches as giant incubators and the need for human-to-human contact.
