Grade 10 - Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States

Sunday School Curriculum Grade 10
PREFACE
The Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States, under the auspices of His Grace
Bishop Youssef, felt the pressing need for a modified Sunday School Curriculum which would
be better suited to address the problems and issues facing the children in the lands of
immigration. Therefore, the efforts and time of many faithful servants have been dedicated to
modify and improve the presently used English translation of the syllabus published by the
Youth Services Committee of the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate. This has resulted in the
elimination of many existing lessons from this syllabus and the substitution with new lessons that
are more appropriate for our youth in the lands of immigration. These additional lessons give
greater consideration to the differences in quality of life, education, media influence, cultural
differences and the surrounding diversity of beliefs between Egyptian society and that of the
west.
We pray that God may bless this work for the spiritual growth of our children in the
immigration countries. We also thank His Grace Bishop Youssef for his continued support,
prayers and motivating guidance in this service.
May God reward every servant who offered time and effort toward the completion of this
Sunday School Curriculum.
