We could lose a whole generation because we have not been able to tap into the way that a particular generation learns. In such a traditional Sunday school, teachers are recruited for a whole year to teach a different lesson each week. Each lesson builds on the knowledge learned from the last weeks. The Sunday school is oriented to a verbal-linguistic approach where there is reading, writing, listening and responding. The special talents of the congregation are not brought into the classroom.
Classrooms are workshops, often designed to look like the setting for that workshop.
The Storytelling workshop might look like a Bedouin encampment. The Video room might look like a video production studio. The Puppetry workshop has a puppet stage and puppets. The Drama workshop has a standard set of biblical costumes. It s Sunday morning.
