Dalcrose workshops : Bethan James

Snail Tales

Saturday

Throughout history, God's people have passed on their experience of Him through stories. For Jesus, stories were His method of choice for teaching. Our understanding of the world is shaped by the stories that we hear everyday - yet the art of telling our own is becoming lost in the age of special effects.
