Playing in the Light:
A Godly Play® Workshop for Quakers

Pendle Hill, November 1-4, 2012
Presenters: Melinda Wenner Bradley and Michael Gibson

Are you looking for a dynamic, Quaker-friendly approach to religious education and the Bible that is open-ended and that honors the spiritual lives of children? Are you looking for a curriculum for children between the ages of 3 and 12 that offers consistency, meaningful engagement and rich pay-off to both teachers and children?
Are you looking for material that can also be used effectively in multigenerational settings, and even in all-adult groups?

We are convinced the Montessori-inspired approach known as Godly Play®, combined with our own Faith & Play^TM resources, is all of these and more, and we are excited about it! This training, offered in a nurturing and supportive environment, will give you all you need to begin using these resources. A full day longer than our previous trainings at Pendle Hill, this workshop will offer plenty of time for modeling, practicing, processing, reflecting, and sharing.
