Because the email address is attached to the Personal Profile, and is not at the Mailing List record level, the only way you can do this in email currently, is to create an activity of Parent, then use the 'email a group' function.

However, that brings up a good idea for the wish list. Create a main email address at the Mailing LIst level for church information emails only. This address would be designated by the family. I would not use this for contribution statements, as there could be multiple contributors in a household. Then have a function off the Family Mailing List menu to utilize this email address.
