Dear EN,
December EN’s editorial made the case for Sunday School during the sermon time. I want to gently question this common practise and the thinking behind it.
There is no hint in the New Testament that children were taught separately from their parents when the church gathered. In fact, Paul assumes the opposite (Colossians 3.20, Ephesians 6.1). The church is a ‘gathering’ which must cut across all the expected boundaries of society.
