First, there is, in many churches, limited daycare/childcare opportunities. These are insufficient to allow a parent to work, even part-time, but are often offered free-of-charge to supplement programs or activities within the church that parents would like to avail themselves of. This then allows parents the ability to be away from their kids occasionally, and may make the burden of full-time caregiving more palatable to either parent.
Next, there is the opportunity for the parents who make up the church community to aid each other in a communal care-giving process that would free up primary care-givers to work part time, and allow children to be raised continuously in a familiar environment, where they would have the opportunity to be placed in long-term relationships with people that will influence them throughout their life rather than fragmented one year or half year relationships that are built in traditional daycare facilities.
Finally, many churches provide parenting resources, including counseling, parenting seminars, and literature. These resources can aid parents in understanding what things are of value to provide for their children. The assumption above that people will act based on how they believe no comes into play. It seems reasonable to state that a belief held by those involved in a church should be that there are non-material things that have as much or more value than material things. This is a common tenet in all major world religions. Therefore, by encouraging parents not only to believe that non-material things are important (and therefore worth spending time on) and providing resources to show parents how important time spent with children is, it may be that the church is in a position to encourage caregiving over additional working hours, despite the economic costs of working less time. This is, of course, not a complete solution, because it doesn't support the costs of raising children as though they were a public good, but it should increase the quality of children raised in this manner. Also, churches often provide opportunities for parents to interact one-on-one with their children through retreats and other special occasions. These opportunities provide children a solidly remembered instance of care and love to help define their relationship with that parent. This is of special value, because most children understand and remember concrete events more vividly than abstract declarations.
Therefore, it would seem reasonable to make the assertion that children raised by parents involved in a church community are more likely to grow up with parental influence, a larger support community, and more certain of their parent's love.
Another significant problem that Dr. Folbre brought up was the unequal distribution of income in both a local context (the United States) and a global context. This is another area that, while not solved by church participation, can be mollified to an extent.
