In the midst of family chaos...

Sunday School Was a Warm, Loving Place

[Special to the Sentinel]

And I could not be separated from my Father-Mother God, either.

This is what I'd learned from Christian Science Sunday School. But let me start at the beginning.

My brother and sisters and I had all been enrolled in Sunday School for years, but going to church got to be a formality because our parents didn't practice Christian Science. At one point the violence at home reached the front page of the local newspaper.
