Natalie B over at BCC recently posted about a dilemma<\/a> she had in her Gospel Doctrine class.<\/p>\n Last Sunday, I had the lesson that spoke about Thomas Marsh and his apostasy. Being an informed reader of BCC, when the subject came up I whipped out my iphone, reviewed John Hamer?\u00a2\u201a\u00c7\u00a8\u201a\u00d1\u00a2s excellent post<\/a> on Thomas Marsh, and then proceeded to explain to the class that the story told in the manual was in fact incorrect. The moment the words came out of my mouth, I regretted them. I had put the teacher in a bad spot.?\u00c7\u00ac\u2020 But, still, I KNEW the manual was dead wrong, and I felt I would be an accomplice in perpetuating slander if I didn?\u00a2\u201a\u00c7\u00a8\u201a\u00d1\u00a2t speak up.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n My personal preference is to not bother with the stories in the manual. I teach the D&C curriculum no different from the others: I teach gospel principles using scriptures; I don’t treat the curriculum as if it were for a church history class.<\/p>\n Besides, many of the class members are more than twice my age, and have probably heard these stories tonnes of times. I find personal experiences shared by class members is much more valued.<\/p>\n As a result, I don’t have situations like Natalie brings up. That being said, what do you do when the manual is wrong (or, at least, as in this case, out of context)?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Natalie B over at BCC recently posted about a dilemma she had in her Gospel Doctrine class.
