Life begins: being born and growing up, sentence 3
Christians at Ellie's church believe every baby is known and loved by God and is a gift, not a thing anyone owns; other faiths welcome babies with their own blessings, non-religious families may hold a naming day, and everyone agrees a new life is a wonder.
Who acts: Christians, anyone, other faiths, non-religious families, everyone, new life · What happens: believe, know, love, be, own, welcome · To what, where: baby, gift, thing, babies, wonder · Speech: someone speaks here
