Esther's DC 23rd Nov

Esther Ran DC this week and it was great! Inspired by her Highschool reunion, she asked us all about how we saw Jesus at different stages including first impressions, when you got to know him a bit better, and today.More than that, she brought in a collection of nic-nacs which we used to demonstrate our answers by making little sculptures. We got to explain what we had done as well, so it was easy to understand what people had done.

I had the pleasure of joining in with the Fine Edge Theatre interns when Esther did this activity with them a couple of months back, and it was great to participate in. Highlights for me were hearing everyone open up and really think about the questions deeply and how they might express that.

It was great for me to take a step back and just participate as well. I'm keen for other people to get the most out of DC by sharing their thoughts as a facilitator too, everyone's got something to offer.

Blog Vission

Hi all,

My plan is to use this blog to share a bit about what Drama Church is all about. Some of the theory behind it, what's going on from week to week, and some ideas about how to do worship creatively. It's a tool for communicating Drama Church issues to it's members and to the world.

I have a vision to see where Drama Church might be useful as a tool for creative exploration. I think that forum learning is an important way for us to fight apathy in our lives and in society and I am passionate about seeing people of all ages and backgrounds taking an active hold on there faith journey and seeing the potential they have to transform the world around them.

I also wanted to use this blog to talk about some of the more weighty issues of faith that I'm dealing with from day-to-day.

Well, they're my first thoughts. My goal is to put something up here once a week. I intend to make DC a focus of mine so if this site proves worthwhile, I'll keep it up as pert of the time I intend to regularly commit to DC each week.  Happy reading!
