We do it by bringing our questions, our doubts and our beliefs into their lives. Sometimes we do that by volunteering to teach in our Sunday School. Some of my most profound memories of a Unitarian Church school center on the personalities who gave of themselves to help me discover my answers. This approach is not perfect, though. So often parents end up teaching in RE and our youth therefore do not experience the full diversity of humanity that is gathered here.
Children get to hear from parents every day.
But the task of educating our children religiously is not just about the Sunday School. It happens before church and during the Coffee Hour. It happens every Sunday morning when we gather for worship. That is why it is essential to have our youth with us for a time each week. When they listen to our announcements they get a glimpse of what we think is important in our coming together.
