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)
