postcard from Edinburgh

One of the storytellers in our network is currently living in Scotland, undertaking a PhD in storytelling and the New Testament.

Here's a glimpse into what she is getting up to alongside that PhD work.

We are looking for more stories of Australian biblical storytellers to share on this site - promote and event, tell the story of a performance or workshop - so get in touch!

News from around Australia

Hi folks

It's very exciting to hear from Jeanette that the Godly Play workshop in Melbourne on 15 August is now fully booked.

There is still room in the Sacred Stories, Poetry, Wonder & Weaving Retreat on Saturday 17 August - click here for the flier, or email Jeanette.


Sarah has been talking stories - stories as gift, opportunity to share meaning, as entities that have life of their own - with Tricia Karp: click here to listen to their conversation.


Margaret is working on the next edition of TABS, which will feature stories of our gathering, among other stories, so watch this space for that.


Let us know of your experiences and events sharing stories around Australia, so we can share them and encourage each other in our passion and our work (click to email Sarah, blog administrator, or Margaret, TABS editor).

the year of networking locally begins

This year, the Network of Biblical Storytellers Australia is not gathering nationally - we are putting our efforts into the local networks, encouraging people locally to learn the Biblical stories and tell them from their heart.

I am one of a number of storytellers in SA who will be looking for ways to share our passion for the Biblical stories, and the craft of storytelling, bringing the stories to life with a community of listeners, inviting deep and transforming encounter with God through these stories.

Last night was one of a number of ways we will be spreading the word / Word:

Last night I was the guest at The Last Supper, invited to tell stories and provoke conversation. It was a great joy to participate in this gathering, to share stories, both telling and hearing, to wonder, ponder, consider different ideas and perspectives. http://t.co/MFyU0sQA




If you are a Biblical Storyteller telling stories, leading workshops, sharing this way of telling the Biblical stories, let us know - it would be great to share your stories here!

Welcome

Welcome to the blog for the Network of Biblical Storytellers Australia.
This site is still under construction, so bear with us while we add the refining touches to it.
We hope that this will be a site from which to share the stories of biblical storytellers around Australia. You can learn more about what it is that we do as biblical storytellers, find a storyteller to bring the biblical story alive for your community, discover ways to incorporate biblical storytelling into your ministry or to encourage storytellers among your community of faith.
Your comments and feedback are always welcome, so please do use the comments option to interact with the website.
In time, we will have members of the network from around Australia contributing stories and news to this site, collaborating with me - Sarah Agnew - who will manage and maintain this blog. You can find out more about me on my personal blog, sarah tells stories .
For now, get to know the site, and do come back and watch as it takes shape to support the ministry of biblical storytelling in our communities.
