FAITH & PLAY STORIES

Quaker Stories of Faith, Practice, and Witness

Picture
Used with the Godly Play® approach to spiritual formation; developed for Friends to supplement stories in the Godly Play collection.
Godly Play® and Faith & Play™ acknowledge that God is active in children’s lives long before they enter the religious education classroom. Our work as parents, caregivers, and adult mentors in meetings is to create safe and welcoming environments conducive to wonder and worship, and build intentional spiritual community where personal work grows out of collective responses to stories and active wondering with others. Play is children’s practice, hence the name Faith & Play deriving from the title “Faith and Practice.” For teachers trained in the Godly Play method, pairing Godly Play with Faith & Play gives children a basic knowledge of a set of core biblical stories, Quaker faith and practice, and the witness of faithful Friends of the past.​

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


​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 Stories resources, is all of these and more. “Playing in the Light,” offered in a nurturing and supportive environment, will give you the tools to begin using these resources. We can provide a full weekend training for your monthly, quarterly, or yearly meeting.
