Great Article. Absolutely not outdated, I used the first 9 articles of Faith last year as a base for our Primary Program. The children learned the songs. As the year went by, I listen to my children as they talked and told stories and was able to match each child's with an Article of Faith. For the program we sang and Article of Faith and then the child told what had been said previously.
I also work with Missionaries and English Connect, a program for teaching English. We used the Articles of Faith for our opening song, same one as the Primary. My missionary students soon reported to me times they had used the Articles of Faith to answer a question.
This year we already are using them with singing time as we learn about the Sacred Grove and sing Article of Faith 1 about God the Eternal Father, etc. My youngest son had memorized them all before he turned 6. We had a push in Primary that year and most of the Primary learned them. I think he was the youngest.

What a wonderful way of pointing out the precision with which the Articles of Faith were composed, Sister Linford. I now have a renewed respect for them.......THANK YOU!!! [FWIW, I received my missionary cards with the AoF on the backside in 1968, and I wonder when the missionaries stopped using them....or, do some still buy the cards?]
