Perhaps I've been misinformed, but I've heard a slightly different twist on the origin of Sunday School. What I've heard (from a fairly reliable source) is that slaves were not allowed to attend school. However, their masters maintained a front of Christianity, so they allowed their slaves to attend church. As I understand, some ingenious people in churches began teaching Sunday School, in which basic reading, writing, and math were taught. This way the slaves could gain some education while they were permitted to be absent. If this is true, it might be worth pointing out--it's one more evidence that true Christianity fights for equality more that the liberals ever will. --David B ^(TALK) 14:00, 30 December 2016 (EST)

Thanks for the cogent recommendation. I have accordingly incorporated material from a linked source, which I have also listed in the External links section.

I'm glad my unresearched, unsupported ramblings were helpful! I'm finding this article very interesting. I didn't realize Sunday School dated back to the seventeen-hundreds, or had so much history. God Bless! --David B ^(TALK) 02:07, 31 December 2016 (EST)

Vandalism

A sudden spate of (predictably) anti-Christian vandalism has occurred here (see article history). Accordingly, I have protected the whole page. I regret this measure was necessary to preserve the integrity of the article. Peace be with you all. --Dataclarifier (talk) 14:16, 2 January 2017 (EST)

A short while ago, I removed page protect. No problem since then. Pax vobis --Dataclarifier (talk) 01:19, 24 January 2017 (EST)
