Historic Church Storytellers
If you are in a "historic church" - one that goes by the name "Reformed, Lutheran, Anglican, Presbyterian" and adheres to a historic confession - you might be interested in this group:
Historic Church Storytellers
It's where people serving historic churches can get together to discuss the use of Bible Storytelling in our contexts.
Here's how it's described:
We are Christians who love the Historic Church - some of us are called "Reformed" or "Anglican", "Presbyterian" or "Lutheran". We are often called "Confessional" because we believe that Holy Scripture is not only worth believing but confessing. By the call and grace of God we find ourselves confessing the faith of a historic church.
Is this group for you? It might be. How can I describe who we are? Each member of this group adheres to a historic confession such as the Heidelberg Catechism, the 39 Articles, the Westminster Confession, etc. Each of us usually has liturgical convictions which find today's so called worship far too silly and "performance" oriented. People sit as spectators instead of giving God praise. Give us a Bible based liturgy where God's people sing, speak, confess sin and confess Christ any day! (Isn't doing so pretty "oral" after all?)
But we are also people with a burden on our heart for the Great Commission.
We are called to renew, expand and plant new churches in our historic tradition.
Bible Storying is a method of communicating afresh the Scriptures which birthed our historic churches. We seek to use it in a way we find faithful to God Himself, His Word, and the historic church in which He has called us to serve.
If that describes you (or you'd like it to!) we'd love to have you! Just ask.
