Every congregation has a closet or workroom with old curriculum and instructional materials.\u00a0 We are especially interested in curriculum produced by and for Churches of Christ and Christian Churches.\u00a0 Pictured here are issues of Little Jewels<\/em>, published by Gospel Advocate Company in Nashville, Tennessee, for young children.\u00a0 The volume numbering suggests this series began publication in the 1880s.\u00a0 We have precious few of them.\u00a0 Items such as these were produced for the moment, consumed and cast aside as life went on.\u00a0 \u00a0We wish to locate and preserve this kind of material.\u00a0 Titles such as Little Jewels<\/em> are ripe for examining the history of Churches of Christ from several angles: spiritual formation of children, Biblical narration and storytelling, moral formation, the history of interpretation of Biblical texts, and they give a window into the practice of teaching in Sunday Schools.\u00a0 That’s quite a bit of potential research value; and we could support that kind of inquiry if we had the materials at hand.\u00a0 Please remember us the next time your congregation has a work day in the curriculum room.\u00a0 Contact Mac Ice for further assistance: mac.ice@acu.edu<\/p>\n
