Godly Play is running in several of our congregations in full form, including Trinity/St. Charles, St. Alban's/Fulton, St. Mark's/St. Louis, and St. Barnabas'/Florissant. The story telling techniques and manipulatives are being incorporated into other programs in congregations such as St. Martin's/Ellisville, Grace Church/Kirkwood, and St. Paul's/Carondelet, where they use it in a neighborhood youth center with secondary students. This theologically sound and spiritually enriching program has brought new life and purpose into many of our parish education programs. Resources are available from your Diocesan Resource Center, and include books by the Rev. Jerome Berryman such as Godly Play, Teaching Godly Play, and Young Children and Worship . For more information, go to www.godlyplay.org and www.godlyplay.com; or call the Rev. Ralph McMichael, Canon Theologian at the Diocese 314-231-1220.
