"Our goal is to make better Christian healers—to help students realize their full spiritual potential. Tell us how we can improve this Sunday School. You talk. We'll listen."
This is the kind of straight talking that goes on informally these days between the Sunday School staff and pupils of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Wellesley, Massachusetts. They are out to prove that mutual trust can cement a bond between the generations.
And the young people do open up and speak freely. They say they appreciate a teacher who asks what the class would like to know about Christian Science, instead of one who doles out the information he thinks they ought to know. They don't want to go there to read the Lesson-Sermon or hear the teacher lecture on it; they want discussion of its application to their lives.
