Children

 Joining the Oxford Diocese Library of Godly Play Story Materials 

Since opening our Godly Play Classroom in Abingon in 2004 hundreds of children and adults have experienced Godly Play many adults have been inspired to go back to their church or school resolved to 'try it out' with children. A piece of feedback that has come back time and time again has been that the investment in resources needed by schools or churches just isn't possible for already overstretched budgets so sadly, Godly Play has had to take a back seat.

Part of my desire as Children's Adviser has been to make Godly Play much more accessible to children and adults so I'm absolutely delighted that we've been able to invest heavily and update and extend Godly Play facilities and resources throughout the DIocese.

September 2009 finally sees the launch of the Oxford Diocese Library of Godly Play Story Materials. Upholding the ethos and methodology of Godly Play is very important to us so the membership requirement is that members have recieved a basic training by attending a 'Godly Play Introductory Day', School staff INSET or similar Godly Play course.

Benefits of Library Membership;

Membership entitles you to freely access and borrow materials for use in the telling of Godly Play stories. We are proud to be able to offer an extensive range of stories from the Jerome Berryman 'The Complete Guide to Godly Play' Volumes 2, 3, 4 and 6.

From time to time members will be offered training or special events at a reduced fee.

The normal borrowing time will be four calendar weeks - giving plenty of time to learn, practise and deliver stories. Extended times may be negotiable. Occassionally a shorter lending period may be required during specific busy seasons.

Materials will normally be collected from and returned to Diocesan Church House in Oxford.

See the 'Membership Information Pack' for full terms and conditions.

Costs;

The annual fee is £50 per year.
