Sunday school lessons guide children through their lives
St. Mary's Church in Nottingham, England, may very well be the
home of the world's first Sunday school in 1751. The Sunday school
movement would pick up speed in the following decades, championed
by Robert Raikes, editor of the Gloucester Journal. In those days,
Sunday was the only day that poor children in the slums didn't have
to work in the factories.
Raikes saw value in teaching these "street urchins" how to read
and write, to keep them from falling into a life of crime. The
Bible served as their primary textbook; a catechism provided extra
material.
