Originally posted by Soccermom View PostMaybe they will have online seminary! My kids don't go to early morning seminary. It is too much for them. I let them decide. When school sports take up as much time as they do and then homework, they were barely getting any sleep. It was overwhelming them. Other people make their kids give up their activities but not me. I just bought the seminary manuals and they can study on their own. Some of church is done at home now, why not seminary?

Logistically here in Utah, I see no way to have the space or instructors for everything to be run early morning."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Originally posted by beefytee View PostNot sure what your referring to here? Do you think they will now graduate without getting the work done? Will fewer graduate? I would think early morning seminary would be a bigger impediment than joining an online class or doing online work.PLesa excuse the tpyos.

Originally posted by Moliere View PostLogistically it would be easy. It’s probably more difficult where I am. We have 3-4 wards per building and very few are close to the high schools so parents often have to drive to and from seminary. But all the kids fit just fine in the building in the morning. I think our stake center has 7 classes that all start at 6am.

Originally posted by Moliere View PostWith10-20 church buildings and supported by 30-50 individual wards. Again, not a logistical problem. In fact, it would be easier in Utah than elsewhere.
Otherwise, I would hate being the church close to the school where 200 kids come in every morning and trash.Last edited by beefytee; 03-22-2019, 03:50 PM.

And yes, the building gets trashed. Especially the bathrooms."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.
