Each week we sat in plastic chairs around a folding table. We’d open our Bibles, read the passage out loud, look at posters with Bible illustrations, and fill out colorful preprinted worksheets while Mr. Mixon taught the lesson. Some weeks we’d get candy if we could answer his questions. I can remember our grade school class reciting the books of the Bible in order. Then, back at home, my dad taught me to sing that list of books to the tune of two old hymns.

Let’s review the arguments for both options and see if we can find a solution.
