Demonstrates the vital role Sunday schools played in forming and
sustaining faith before, during, and after the First World War for
British populations both at home and abroad. Sunday schools were an
important part of the religious landscape of twentieth-century
Britain and they were widely attended by much of the British
population. The Sunday School Movement in Britain argues that the
schools played a vital role in forming and sustaining the faith of
those who lived and served during the First World War. Moreover,
the volume contends that the conflict did not cause the schools to
decline and proposes that decline instead set in much earlier in
the twentieth century. The book also questions the perception that
the schools were ineffective tools of religious socialisation and
examines the continued attempts of the Sunday school movement to
professionalise and improve their efforts. Thus, the involvement of
the movement with the World's Sunday School Association is revealed
to be part of the wider developing international ecumenical
community during the twentieth century. Drawing together
under-utilised material from archives and newspapers in national
and local collections, The Sunday School Movement in Britain
presents a history of the schools demonstrating their lasting
significance in the religious life of the nation and, by extension,
the enduring importance of Christianity in Britain during the first
half of the twentieth century.
