No teddies were harmed in these productions!

[RJG]

Our Anglican Priest daughter has been busy over the last few weeks. These productions have proved popular and I believe have been viewed by a large audience. I have permission to put them on forums.

Great! Well done! Good storyteller's voice there!

The Bible should be like that, brought to the new generations by great voices!

"Keep up the good work!"

Glad you like it. My husband and I don't it our daughter's way as we are unbelievers, but she certainly does a good presentation.

From what I gather many Anglican churches are quite progressive (eg. recognizing that those stories of Daniel and the Deuteronomic narrative were much later, non-historical compositions) and with nonbelieving parents too, I have to wonder: Does your daughter actually believe that all these stories really happened?

If not, the thread Children's Church Hermeneutics would seem quite relevant.

Grownup Christians regularly tell us that stories such as Eve and the Talking Serpent, and Balaam and His Talking Donkey, and just a whole bunch of other biblical stuff is only "figurative".

Because, well, you know, grownups these days just can't take it literally anymore: so it MUST be figurative.

But that's not what we tell Christian kiddies in Children's Church ..! We don't tell them we don't take these stories literally ourselves

In Sunday School/Children's Church, we brainwash/indoctrinate children with biblical stories.
We tell them these things really happened.
And the children BELIEVE.
And the children develop "faith". . . .


But the five-year-olds colouring-in the extract from "scripture" have been told by the same people that Johan DID live in a whale.
And we have effectively taught Christian kiddies that it's acceptable to be devious when it comes to explaining the "Word of God"
A custom I regularly see in certain grownup Christians today

Yes, I think that is a great idea. The "Teddy story" was cute and I'm sure would be good for tiny tots.

We have what we call " Dramatic bible readings " which are audio recordings of biblical extracts with various voices and some sound effects. I think they are quite good and really bring the bible to life!

We don't have David and Goliath in DBR but in an animated design feature
