Why Do I Go to Sunday School?

Denise Diamond

The reason I go to Christian Science Sunday School is simply —desire: I desire to learn not only who I am but also how to effectively communicate who I am.

I've discovered that these questions about my identity and purpose relate directly to questions about God's identity and purpose. The answers bring a desire not only to take but also to give, not only question but also answer, not only talk but also listen, not only learn but also teach.

I need to do these things to fulfill my own sense of purpose, and this need has led to a commitment to learn about God and my relationship to Him. Does this include committing myself to attending Sunday School? Yes. Fundamentally, finding or not finding, learning or not learning, understanding or not understanding myself and my particular relationship with God, are all related to the process of attending Sunday School physically and mentally.
