The spiritual significance of Sunday School activity

From the October 1989 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Through the world's eyes, it could hardly look less significant. About a half dozen adults and maybe a dozen or so children meet for an hour a week in the basement or back end of a church.

A limited, mortal viewpoint is convinced—and is intent on convincing us—that Christian Science Sunday School is basically an irrelevant endeavor: "There are so few people involved," mortal thinking would suggest, "and the ideas that are batted around come from old religious books—museum pieces, really."

Christian history and spiritual sense expose mortal mind's talent for getting things wrong. After all, it was the carnal, or mortal, mentality that saw Christ Jesus' ministry as either heretical and dangerous or as fleeting and inconsequential—missing completely the divine imperative that was erupting in human hearts and lives.
