Weekday Religious Education Weekday classes in religious education conducted on released school time for public school pupils are being held in all but a few states of the United States, as well as in Canada, England, and Wales. Some states have laws specifically permitting the releasing of pupils from public school in order that they may receive religious instruction in churches or church schools of their choice, while in other states the ruling of the state attorney general, a court decision, or an opinion from the state board of education provides the authority under which the plan for religious instruction is carried on.

In preparing for a Christian Science lecture, thoughtful consideration should be given to providing adequate facilities to accommodate all who are likely to attend.
