Does
your Sunday School help ... or hinder?
By JOHN HATCHER
Religion Columnist
Maranatha Baptist
Church in Plains, Ga., is a Sunday School class with a church. That
is, the Sunday School class taught by former President Jimmy Carter
eclipses the church in seeming importance and reputation. The rule is
that when President Carter is in Plains, he teaches his class and the
crowds come to Maranatha. When he is not in town, the average crowd
shrinks significantly.
Getting
your ‘stuff’ into the paper
By
JUDY KILGORE
Religion Editor

probably get a dozen e-mails each week from people asking how to get
their “stuff” into the paper. Whether it’s a wedding,
engagement, anniversary or birth announcement, a church event or anything
of interest to the religion community, the procedure is the same and
I thought I’d take a minute to explain it. I hate form letters
so I answer each e-mail personally but it takes a lot of time.
