Scripture Alive: Telling the Story with Drama, Dance, and Mime

Scripture comes alive when proclaimed with imagination. Religious educators can bring energy, joy and life-giving fun to their work with scripture and liturgical celebration. This session will focus on how drama, movement and storytelling can be used at any educational level (in worship or the classroom) to proclaim and study scripture.
