Prohibition of innocent pastimes debated in church writing
Reverend Washington Gladden discusses whether banning certain amusements is expedient or harmful. He argues prohibitions fail, noting dancing and backgammon as benign pastimes whose enjoyment can be safe at home, while strict control pushes youths toward vice. He cites personal testimonies and family examples to support permissive guidance over bans.
