This pastor gave permission to take this letter to the Jesus Creed blog. So, what is your advice and wisdom?

Hi Scot,

 I’m a pastor near Minneapolis.  I have a question that I’m wondering if you could give me some insight on. 

God has been doing wonderful work in bringing many young unmarried couples with children to our church.  They are connecting here. 

And when asked, I have chosen to baptize their children. 

A leader in the church recently challenged my decision to baptize children of couples who are living together.

Any help you might be able to give me would be appreciated.  Thank you.
