A great storyteller makes you forget that a particular person is standing before you and you are transcended somewhere else.

Not a gesture or word is wasted

National Godly Play Conference

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!

greetings from SA

To my dear friends gathering this weekend in Victoria - I am sorry to not be with you, and feel quite strange to be missing my first gathering in 6 (i think) years.

I am excited to be presiding at the wedding of one of the music teachers who teaches in my church tomorrow, and to be present at the first open day for Nunyara Conference Centre (where we held the 2010 gathering), which is the neighbour of my church on Sunday.

May the stories you tell and live this weekend enrich your souls, inspire you, and travel back with you to breathe new life into your communities.

Much love,

Sarah Agnew - minister @ belair uniting church & sarah tells stories
