Use the Andy Griffith Show to teach and share
Biblical truthes.
The Daily News Update from Charisma magazine (Monday, June 7, 1999 Vol. 1 No. 70) had the
following: 'THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW'IS BASIS FOR BIBLESTUDY CLASS Two men from Alabama hope
that Americans who miss Sheriff Andy Taylor, Aunt Bee and Barney Fife will return to
church to find their wholesome family values. "Finding the Way Back to Mayberry"
is a Bible study class developed by Joey Fann, 33, and Brad Grasham, 38, members of the
Twickenham Church of Christ in Huntsville, Ala. Fann, an engineer, said that while in
college he began to see a deeper meaning in the TV show, which was popular in the 1960s
and is currently seen by thousands every week in re-runs. He discovered that some episodes
of the 30-minute situation comedy highlight good Christian moral values that everyone can
appreciate. According to the Associated Press, Fann and Grasham asked their minister to
pick several episodes for a class, then found related Bible passages to pull out lessons.
About 20 people attended the first class. Within weeks, Sunday night attendance grew to
more than 200, Fann said.
