释义 | Sunday schooln.adj. A. n. 1. Originally: a school for the general instruction of children on a Sunday, usually set up and controlled by a parish. In later use: a school or class held on a Sunday, organized by a church or other religious organization, for instruction in a particular religion.In the United Kingdom, Sunday schools are generally regarded as originating from the one formed in 1783 by Robert Raikes (1735–1811) in Gloucester. Schemes of a similar nature (but apparently not so called) pre-date this, including those of the Isle of Man (1703), Catterick (1763), and Macclesfield (1778). They aimed to provide a basic education for children from the lower social classes who were in full-time employment for the rest of the week.
