Primary education (mormonism)

See also: Primary

The Primaire is the organization which provides for religious teaching with children 3 to 11 years with the Église with Jesus-Christ with the Saints with the Last Days. The purpose of the Primary elections are to teach the Gospel of Jesus-Christ to the children and to help them to live in agreement with its principles.

History

The Primary elections were born on August 25th, 1878 in Farmington in Utah (the USA). It was the result of the reflections of Aurelia S. Rogers which saw the need for a religious training in week for the small boys and the young girls. The movement was spread in other geographical parts of the Church and on June 19th, 1880, Louie B. Felt had to chair on the Primary elections of the Church in the whole world.

Organization

Today, the Primary elections do not meet any more in week but during the grouped schedules of the Sunday meetings.
