task two

Each person will need worksheet 11 pages 23 & 24 People can change and resource sheets 3 & 4 on pages 25 and 26 I'd never done anything about it and Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous on which to work individually. Such work may need to be done in two stages:

• studying the story
• writing down where they want to change things.

You may then wish the whole class to study AA's Twelve Steps before finishing the second part of the worksheet.

It should be stressed that this work is to be confidential, unless the pupils wish it to be otherwise. In some cases it has been helpful to tell others of one's decisions, because friends can help to give courage to carry them out. Pupils can also gain a great deal from each other's understanding of God, provided they are prepared to share such impressions.

Issues which might arise from this work include:

• the existence and nature of God
• God's power to help people through difficulties
• why you need to put things right
• how situations and people can change
• how to maintain changes which have been made
