“The great need in the Christian church is for a Sunday school curriculum for children that does not equate faith with having a pre-modern mind. The Center for Progressive Christianity has produced just that. Teachers can now teach children in Sunday school without crossing their fingers. I endorse it wholeheartedly.” ~John Shelby Spong (Author, Jesus for the Non-Religious)
“At last, Sunday School lessons for which no apology is necessary.” ~James R. Adams, Author of So You Think You’re Not Religiousand From Literal to Literacy.

I am interested in getting a sample of this resource (“A Joyful Path” educational resource for young people ages 6 – 10 years) and also finding out the costs.
Garry you can find out more about the curriculum from our website progressivechristianity.org under children’s curriculum. There are samples posted and lots of other information. However I just went in to check the site and found that there are a couple of pages missing which includes the purchase options. I have already contacted our website manager but am not certain how long it will take to get those back on line. In the meantime you might want to call our office 971-544-7343. you can ask for either Deshna or Sara. If I had your phone number I will have them call you. You can email me at; fplumer@progressivechristianity.org
Thanks for your interest
