I am not sure if many people have heard of this yet, but last year on my theological training course, an Anglican Minister called Sam Wells used Godly Play within a service, and it blew me away. I have now tried it out myself several times using biblical salvation history stories and Jesus’ parables, and it is remarkable how effective it is at holding adults and children in a shared act of worship, and appears to cross socio-cultural boundaries. It provides a great media resource for alternative worship and emerging church. I was pleased to see that Kevin & Ana Draper did a workshop on this at the UK Greenbelt festival. The pics above were of me doing a workshop from people in Graceway and some Baptist Ministers, with the intention that they are going to try to use Godly Play in their services. I am getting more enthusiastic about this as time goes on! For more info on this, check out Godly Play web site. Please find below a handout in word format that I used for the workshop if interested.
