The success of the Juvenile Instructor magazine, called the Instructor since 1929, owes much to the vision and foresight of its great founder, George Quale Cannon. From a small, crude, four-page paper, first published in 1866, the Juvenile Instructor has developed into a far-reaching and attractive publication, touching the lives of countless thousands in 1969. It has proved to be a great implement of religious education to the Latter-day Saint people and fulfilled four important functions in its early years when Elder Cannon was its editor. It served as the official organ of the Sunday Schools, as a voice of truth in an era when so much low-grade fiction was available, as a source of religious reading material for children, and as an aid to parents and teachers in furthering the religious education of the young ones under their care. Its popularity and long life of over a century bespeak the enduring and influential nature of Elder Cannon's edifying combination of information, entertainment, and inspiration.

Teaching is an art based upon the carefully considered scientific principles of pedagogy; therefore, teacher training has been an established policy of the Sunday School in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A fundamental educational responsibility in the Church is the preparation of members to teach well by providing them with methods for successful instruction. To accomplish this objective, the Sunday School developed a teacher training program whereby members became more proficient teachers.The purpose of this study was to reconstruct the historical development and present a concise history of the teacher training program administered by the Sunday School of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This history will be valuable to administrators of the teacher development program of the Church, to developers of future Church teacher development courses, and to students of Mormon history who have no complete history of their own and must depend upon single sources and independent studies.

The problem of this study is to determine the influence that Sunday school attendance has on behavior of children now enrolled in the elementary grades of North Texas State College Demonstration School of Denton, Texas.

O trabalho limita-se ao âmbito da Igreja Metodista, em cidades do interior do Estado de São Paulo. Entender a atual condição da adolescência é requisito para desenvolver ações capazes de prepará-la para o exercício da fé. O primeiro capítulo enfoca o desenvolvimento da adolescência.. Desde o início da Revolução Industrial pesquisadores, médicos, psicólogos, educadores entre outros têm se voltado à pesquisa desta fase de vida. O segundo capítulo propõe uma análise da Escola Dominical. O objetivo deste capítulo é compreender suas origens, seu relacionamento com a adolescência, sua estrutura e funcionamento, pois, ela é um dos melhores espaços para a formação do adolescente. Este precisa de um modelo educativo que ajude seu desenvolvimento e a Escola Dominical pode ser a agência educativa para garantir uma educação apropriada à época atual. O terceiro capítulo aprofunda o conceito de educação de modo geral e educação cristã de modo específico distinguindo-as de ensino. O modelo de educação necessário para o desenvolvimento do adolescente deve ser aquele que o ajude a elaborar seu próprio desenvolvimento numa prática contínua de elaboração e re-elaboração de sua educação, propiciando experiências de vida numa perspectiva cristã. Por fim, o quarto capítulo analisa o resultado da pesquisa de campo, a opinião do adolescente sobre a Escola Dominical e a partir desta compreensão identificar os fatores que contribuem para a evasão.

Esta dissertação apresenta uma avaliação teológ ica e perspectivas para a herm enêutica pentecostal, a partir dos temas bíblicos estudados na Escola Dominical da Igreja Assembléia de Deus, entre os anos de 2000 e 2009. O primeiro capítulo discorre sobre o Movimento Pentecostal e a Assembléia de Deus no Bras il. O pentecostalismo surge nos Estados Unidos em 1901, sob influência, principalmente, da pregação metodista da segunda benção, associada ao batismo no Espírito Santo, buscando restaurar a experiência vivida pela igreja cristã, nos tempos apostólicos. A Assembléia de Deus brasileira tem sua origem em Belém (PA), em 1911, a partir do trabalho de dois missionários suecos, Daniel Berg e Gunnar Vingren, i nfluenciados pelo movimento pentecostal norte-americano. Após décadas de constante cres cimento, representa hoje cerca de 30% dos evangélicos brasileiros, estando presente em todas as regiões do país. Num segundo momento, são apresentadas refl exões de vários autores, acerc a da teologia e do princípio pentecostal. O segundo capítulo trata da leitura pentecostal da Bíblia, relacionando os assuntos estudados na Escola Dominical e avaliando teologicamente os temas mais relevantes: Inspiração da Bíblia Sagrada, Volta de Jesus, Disciplinas da Vida Cristã , Jesus, Batismo com o Espírito Santo, Teologia da Prosperidade, Curas e Milagres. O terceiro capítulo observa que a leitura bíblica praticada pela Assembléia d e Deus é direcionada por uma h ermenêutica pentecostal conservadora e experimental. Conclui, em termos de perspectiva contemporânea, propondo a adoção de duas outras ênfases: a diaconal e a profética, traduzidas como a disponibilidade em servir à Igreja e à comunidade, denunciar as mazelas sociais e buscar a justiça e a paz, preparando o povo de Deus para o serviço cristão, a fim de construir o corpo de Cristo na realidade brasileira. / This dissertation presents a theological evaluation and per spectives for the Pentecostal hermeneutics, from the biblical themes studied in Sunday Sch ool Assembly of God Church, between the years of 2000 and 2009. The first chapter discusses the Pentecostal Movement and the Assembly of God in Brazil. Pentecostalism emerged in the United States in 1901, influenced mainly by the "second blessing" Methodist preaching associated with the baptism in the Holy Spirit, seeking to restore the lived experience of the Chris tian church in apostolic times . The Brazilian Assembly of God has its origin in Belem (PA), in 1911, from the work of two Swedish missionaries, Daniel Berg and Gunnar Vingren, influenced by the American Pentecostal movement. After decades of steady growth, it currently represents about 30% of the Brazilian evangelicals, being present in all the regions of the country. In a second moment, reflections of some authors are presented about theology and Pentecostal principle. The second chapter deals with the Pentecostal reading of the Bible, relating the subjects that were taught in the Sunday School and theologically evaluating the most relevant topics: Ins piration of the Holy Bible, Return of Jesus, Disciplines of Christian Life, Jesus, Baptism with the Holy Spirit, Theology of Prosperity, Healing and Miracl es. The third chapter says that Bi ble reading practiced by the Assembly of God is guided by a conservative and experimental Pentecostal hermeneutics. It concludes, in terms of contemporary perspective, proposing the adoption of two other emphases: the diaconal and prophetic, both translated as the willingness to serve the Church and the community, to denounce the social ills and to seek for justice and peace, preparing the people of God for the Christian service, in order to build the body of Christ in the Brazilian reality.

This thesis examines representations of Indigenous and non-Indigenous children that circulated through various reports, magazines, and fictional stories that were produced for and about children in Canada’s settler colonial context. Particularly, I focus on the archives of two related institutions, the interdenominational Canada Sunday School Union’s annual reports (1843-1876), and the Shingwauk Industrial Home’s monthly juvenile magazine, Our Forest Children (1887-1890), as well as two juvenile adventure narratives, Canadian Crusoes (1852) by Catharine Parr Traill and “The Shagganappi” (1913) by Emily Pauline Johnson (Tekahionwake). Through the nineteenth century, childhood emerged as a stage of development in the making of a racialized adult identity; I find that these archives and texts record uneasiness about racialized systems of feeling and reveal the colonial management regime’s preoccupation with strengthening certain affective bonds of relationality in order to naturalize dominant, Eurocolonial practices of kinship. My argument through this thesis follows and extends critical approaches to discourses of kinship from scholars interested in deploying Indigenous and postcolonial critiques of Western kinship traditions (Gaudry 2013, Justice 2018, Morgensen 2013, Rifkin 2010). These scholars variously draw on Michel Foucault’s theory of biopower, which they find to be central to the production and proliferation of the institution of settler colonialism in North America, and query how the biopolitical management of Indigenous people was constructed through particularized institutions (such as the residential school) and discourses (such as blood quantum). My project builds on this work by focusing on the representation of child-centered affect in Canada’s settler-colonial context. While kinship figures as a dominant narrative through this thesis, I argue that the figure of the child emerged as the node through which the colonial management regime worked out competing forms of kinship in Canada’s settler-colonial context. In the first chapter, I close read the content of the annual reports that were published by the Canada Sunday School Union. I focus specifically on the “technologies of transparency” that reveal the kinds of investments that were made in the lives of real-life settler children in Canada. The Union’s interest in tracking the circulation of Sunday school libraries, for instance, reflects an impulse to inculcate Christian feeling within the nuclear family. The second chapter builds on the colonial management regime’s investment in the emotional lives of children, but shifts the focus to the lives of the Indigenous children who attended the Shingwauk Industrial Home in Sault Ste. Marie through the late 1880s. I demonstrate how Reverend Edward F. Wilson utilized the generic codes of popular British juvenile magazines of the period to showcase how the home’s Indigenous students learn how to articulate appropriate expressions of Christian feeling. In chapter three, I draw attention to Catharine Parr Traill’s undertheorized juvenile adventure novel Canadian Crusoes. I argue that Traill represents vignettes of an Indigenous kinship practice in order to stage the incorporation of a young Kanien’kehá:ka woman into the Euro-Canadian family. Finally, the fourth chapter examines how Emily Pauline Johnson represents the incorporation of mixed-race children into the Canadian nation in her juvenile adventure novel, “The Shagganappi.” While scholars read “The Shagganappi” as a tale of successful racial-intermixture, I argue that such readings only serve to reinscribe the fantasy that Canada is comprised of a “mythical métissage” (Gaudry 85).

Caracterizando-se por um empreendimento destinado a crianças com vistas à formação do futuro fiel adulto, o periódico obteve grande repercussão por onde circulou. Este estudo, abrangendo a circulação na região meridional do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, vale-se de depoimentos e documentos impressos, em especial o conjunto de periódicos disponibilizados para leitura em diferentes acervos, perfazendo um total de aproximadamente 2.339 paginas. A análise de dados está alicerçada em referenciais teóricos advindos basicamente de dois autores: Roger Chartier - no que se refere a apropriação, produção e circulação do impresso; e Michel de Certeau, no que se refere aos conceito de estratégias (empreendimento dos editores) e táticas (diferentes formas como leitores se apropriaram da proposta estabelecida pelos editores). Como procedimento operacional, o conteúdo de cada periódico foi processado e transferido para um banco de dados, adaptado a partir de software existente para outros fins, criando-se Unidades e Subunidades de análise. Ainda como procedimento metodológico, a pesquisa vale-se da memória de sujeitos envolvidos com o periódico no período delimitado para esta investigação, coletando significativos depoimentos que ajudam a responder não só as questões iniciais que desencadearam a pesquisa, como também aquelas que foram emergindo ao longo do percurso investigativo. Entre as conclusões, cabe ressaltar que o impresso, ao adotar o locus da escola paroquial, e mais tarde o da escola dominical, bem com ao propor criativas estratégias planejadas e executadas em cada período, reforçou a sua legitimação por décadas. Embora conteúdos religiosos e doutrinários se sobrepuseram aos conteúdos lúdicos, estes constituíram estratégias fundamentais na conquista de leitores, em especial ao colocar leitores em interação com a revista e/ou com demais leitores. O conjunto de dados também permite concluir sobre o eficiente uso da revista nos processos de educação formal, não como material didático planejado, e sim como um veículo de leitura, continuamente legitimado pelos respectivos pastores e professores. Apesar das táticas de escape dos leitores- por exemplo, não fazendo uso do conteúdo conforme os editores previam - é possível afirmar que, de modo geral, o projeto da revista foi cumprido, constatando-se pelos depoimentos colhidos que ainda hoje muitos leitores dão continuidade a leituras produzidas e/ou recomendadas pelo Sínodo. / This research intends to analyze O Pequeno Luterano, a printout produced with clear educational purposes and explicit doctrinaire perspective, constituting itself as one of the main pedagogical vehicles used by the Missouri Synod (Brazils Lutheran Church nowadays), in the period between 1930 and 1960. The periodical was characterized as an undertaking assigned to children aiming the formation of the future adult believer and gained great repercussion where it circulated. This study comprehends the periodical circulation in the southern area of the state of Rio Grande do Sul and takes support on testimonies and printed documents, especially the group of periodicals available to reading in different documentary collections, totalizing nearly 2.339 pages. The data analysis is supported on theoretical referentials of two authors: Roger Chartier regarding the printout appropriation, production and circulation and Michel de Certeau, considering the concepts of strategies (editors undertaking) and tactics (different ways of how readers borrow the propositions set by the editors). The operational procedure used consisted in process the content of each periodical and transfer it to a database adapted from a software originally created for other purposes. In this adaptation, it was constituted unities and sub unities of analysis. This research also relies on the memories of the subjects involved with the periodical during the period investigated. These testimonies were very useful to answer the original questions which started the investigation as well as those which emerged along the investigative path. Among the conclusions, its important to emphasize that the printout reinforced its legitimation by adopting the parochial school (and later, the Sunday school) locus, as well by proposing creative strategies planned and fulfilled in each period. Although religious and doctrinaire contents overlapped ludic contents, the ludic contents constituted fundamental strategies to gain readers, especially by placing readers in interaction with the periodical and/or with other readers. The group of data also allows to set conclusions on the efficient periodical use in the formal education processes, not as planned didatic material, but as a reading vehicle, permanently legitimated by the respective priests and teachers. Though the readers escaping tactics ? such as not making use of the content according to the editors expectations ? its possible to affirm that in a general way the periodical project was accomplished. Also it was verified on the collected testiomonies that until today many readers continue reading the material produced and/or recommended by the Synod.

O objeto desta investigação é o espaço da Escola Dominical (ED) como um local de potencialidade para abordar e desenvolver prevenção em HIV/AIDS. Os objetivos específicos foram conhecer a Igreja Evangélica Assembleia de Deus (AD), a Escola Dominical, seu currículo e como o HIV e a AIDS são/ ou podem ser abordados em seu conteúdo curricular de maneira a refletir na vivência e no cotidiano das relações afetivas. Para tanto, foi realizada pesquisa de revisão de literatura descritiva, exploratória e quantitativa sobre a Igreja e Escola Dominical, conteúdo curricular, prevenção em HIV/AIDS. De maneira sucinta são apresentados fatos relacionados à historicidade da Assembleia de Deus no Brasil, sua origem e abordagens teológicas, bem como a ênfase dada à prevenção do HIV/AIDS. Também é discutida a origem da Escola Dominical no mundo, no Brasil, em especial na Assembleia de Deus, sua forma organizacional, burocrática e administrativa, com destaque ao modelo curricular e conteúdo abordado nas diversas faixas etárias que se apresenta. Com isso, procura-se perceber a ocorrência e enfoque dado à abordagem sobre a epidemia de HIV/AIDS. De maneira geral a abordagem relacionada à historicidade destaca a figura dos expoentes Daniel Berg e Gunnar Vingren como fundadores da AD no Brasil. Em relação à Escola Dominical observou-se que sua origem praticamente acompanha a origem da igreja no Brasil. Ela utiliza conteúdo curricular orientado pelo Setor de Educação Cristã, disponibilizado às faixas etárias do maternal ao adulto. Utiliza para isso material padronizado e impresso pela casa Publicadora da Assembleia de Deus, chamado Lições/ Revista da Escola Dominical. É incentivado o aperfeiçoamento de professores da ED através de encontros e cursos específicos e ou literatura impressa. Quanto ao enfoque dado ao vírus HIV e AIDS observou-se que no currículo apresentado não há manifestação relacionado à atuação da ED com relação à prevenção. Quando ocorre abordagem frente a doenças, o mesmo se dá de maneira implícita, num contexto geral sem especificidade direta. Dessa forma, é possível inferir sugestão de conteúdo para possíveis abordagens. / The objective of this investigation is the Sunday School classes (SS) as a potential place to address and develop prevention to HIV/AIDS. Specific objectives were to know the Evangelical Church Assembly of God (AG), the Sunday School, its curriculum and how HIV and AIDS are /or could be approached in its curriculum content, to reflect the experience in daily affective relations.

Regarding Sunday School it was observed that its origin came almost with the origin of the church in Brazil. It uses content-oriented curriculum of the Division of Christian Education, available to ages from kindergarten to adult. It uses for this standardized material and printed by Publishing House of Assembly of God, called Lessons / Magazine Sunday School. It encourages the development of SS teachers through meetings and specific courses and/or printed literature. As for the focus given to HIV and AIDS It was observed that the curriculum presented no manifestation related to the performance of the SS regarding prevention. When the approach about the disease occurs, it will be at implying form, in a general context without direct specificity. Thus, it is possible to infer suggestion content for possible approaches.
