I have never met a church that encourages childless people, all the infertility stories end with "and then Jesus gave us a child because he loves us."

Which implies no child = no use to this church, and Jesus doesn't love you either. Got that message loud and clear many times over.

@BritishKoalaTea ouch! I’m so very sorry!

Churches have responded to the idolatry of sexual satisfaction with the idolatry of family, marriage, (& sexual satisfaction within those boundaries).

The way of Jesus has always had a special place for those who have no other family or children etc.

I lament that we’ve lost that.
