Schools in Sierra Leone were either government run or mission run. I happened to work at a boys school run by Irish priests. The girls school was at the other end of town run by Irish nuns. I went to Sunday School (Disciples of Christ), but I don't remember much about it. In Sierra Leone there was the Confraternity of Catholic Doctrine (the real CCD) and the Confraternity of Confirmed Drunkards, our weekly meeting of beer drinking at a local little store. First time they ran out of cold beer. The second time we went, they could hardly get the fridge door closed. I think the real CCD was for adults as was the second iteration.
Michelle, it is easy to instill belief in children. Hence the priority churches place on school and Sunday School.
