And what I learned in Church's course. He trained us intensively in his new system, which he was just developing. Two papers were presented. I think the second paper wasn't published until well after the course was finished.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I learned more stuff in church than I did in the world.
My father was a first reader in the Christian Science Church, which is similar to being a preacher. There was no drinking, smoking or cursing.
My father was a no-nonsense, dedicated, and focused minister, and there was usually a sermon he needed to prepare for or a Scripture he needed to study, and that always came first.
My degree in theology was an important part of my formation.
I think that after Church got his Ph.D. he studied in Europe, maybe in the Netherlands, for a year or two.
I don't claim to be knowledgeable about theology. Most of my knowledge comes out of my experience and the lessons in the Bible. Every Sunday I'm home I teach 45 minutes and we boiled them down to one page for the new book, 'Through the Year with Jimmy Carter.'
The very first schoolbook that was written had God all over it.
Scholastic learning and polemical divinity retarded the growth of all true knowledge.
I'm sure Church got some of his ideas from this trip to Europe.
First he wrought, and afterward he taught.
