From Mississippi-
Rachel Misener's church ran a background check on her when she became a vacation Bible school leader.
Offended? Nope.
She appreciated that St. Andrew's Episcopal Cathedral had policies in place to safeguard children against potential predators - an approach she believes all places of worship should take.
"At St. Andrews, they have so many different things in place that help protect the children," said Misener, the mother of Jude, 4, and Hazel, 1. "We feel very safe to allow our children to go to events at church where we might not be the parents supervising.
"There's even background checks done on people who help volunteer with the youth. I feel like our church covers all the bases."
