"Mom and Dad would stay in bed on Sunday morning, but the kids would have to go to church"
- Lynn Johnston
About this Quote
This quote by Lynn Johnston talks to the idea of generational differences in religious practice. It recommends that the parents, likely from an older generation, are not as devoted to religious practice as their kids. The moms and dads are content to remain in bed on Sunday morning, while the kids are anticipated to go to church. This might be interpreted as a sign of the moms and dads' waning faith, or just a sign of their comfort in their own beliefs. It could also be seen as an indication of the moms and dads' respect for their children's faiths, and their determination to let them practice their faith. Whatever the case, this quote speaks with the idea that spiritual practice can differ considerably in between generations.
