YOUR INSIGHTS

From the November 2009 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The Journal receives a number of contributions that, because of space constraints, we can't publish in full. In these pages, however, we can offer excerpts that we found inspiring and insightful—some spiritual "nuggets" worth tucking into thought.

"BUT WHY MUST I go to Sunday School?" was a question I asked my parents more than once. "To learn how to learn, Finn," was their reply. "School teaches you what to learn, Sunday School tells you how to learn."

Learning how to learn in the Christian Science Sunday School was an educational revolution that burst into my college years. As a graduate student I needed to complete a four-year undergraduate program to enter my chosen career. I was bored by slow-moving lectures, and booked an appointment with the chancellor of Cape Town Teachers' College to ask for enrichment to my program. She leaned over her desk toward me, and her large hands seemed to gather up my situation.
