"Several years ago, in our Sunday School we organized our classes by topics. We let the students know ahead of time what the topics were going to be, and they could choose any one that they wished. [The topics did not depart from Article XX, Section 3.] And the teachers could choose the topics that they wanted—either the ones they felt they had the most to learn about (so they wanted to work at them) or the ones they felt they had a lot of experience in (so they felt most able to share healing ideas and examples from their own lives).
"It was a lot more work. And I think that 'time-honored systems' gradually crept back in (see Science and Health, p. vii); the barnacles of 'how we always do it' began to slow things down. But there was a great sense of vitality in the Sunday School while that commitment and effort were being made."
