[Teachldsseminary] Daniel and the Lions' Den

[Nancy Decker]

I wanted to cover Daniel and the Lion's Den and noted there wasn't anything in the manual. I was reading some suggestions regarding teaching Daniel and they mentioned things like..."What would you do if you lived in a country or time when it was against the law to pray in public and private unless the prayers were printed in an official prayer book?  Suppose you were asked to pray in Sacrament Meeting and two government officials walked in just then.  How would you pray? 
The more I started thinking about it the more I realized we can't teach this. We are asking our kids to go against the law and we as LDS obey the law. It is what sets us apart.
 
What do you tell the kids when they ask about choosing between obeying the law and not bowing down to the golden statue or King Neb?
 
Are you guys skipping Daniel and the Lion's Den? I could use some ideas.
 
Thanks, Nancy in Sicily
