Sunday School

"By the way, I have heard Laurie play the piano (and sing) on a number of occasions, and she plays AND sings beautifully!"

Thank you, Betty, but not anymore. Old age has done in the arthritic fingers and the vocal chords.

Back to Sunday School - didn't Stonewall Jackson conduct Sunday School for slaves and free blacks before the war?

Also, Eva - Episcopalians also took confirmation classes when I was a child. They usually lasted for a year before the actually confirmation service with the bishop on hand, and the confirmation was performed on those over the age of twelve. High church Episcopalians sometimes did First Communion at age 10. Our church is so close to Washington, D.C. that many of the classes have chosen to go to the National Cathedral for mass confirmations with other churches in our diocese.
