| Godly Play | Godly Play is a creative and imaginative approach to Christian nurture which invites listeners to enter into Biblical stories and encourages them to connect those stories with personal experience.Godly Play is a non-coercive way to encourage children to move into larger dimensions of belief and faith, through wondering questions and open-ended response time. It is a way of preparing children to join in the worship and life of their congregations as they develop a deeper understanding of stories, symbols and rites.Although it was originally developed as a resource for children, Godly Play is now being used with a wide range of age groups in a diversity of settings.
Godly Play is one of several variations of the Montessori tradition of religious education and has been developed in the United States by Dr Jerome Berryman. For full details of Godly Play in the UK, including details of training courses, click here. |

| Some Acadian burials, baptisms and marriages during exile in England | Acadians - In 1756 the Acadians originally deported to Virginia were not allowed to remain by that government. Acadians were once again deported this time to Bristol, Falmouth, Liverpool and Penryn in England. Burials records have been found for some of the Acadians who were buried at St. Gluvius, Penryn. Some baptisms and marriages were discovered in the parish of St. Mary in Liverpool as well as St. Mary in Wootten also in Liverpool. All of these Acadians were held as prisoners in warehouses along the docks until they were repatriated to France in 1763. Many died from smallpox while in England. |

| Church Times | The Church Times, founded in 1863, has become the world's leading Anglican weekly newspaper. It has always been independent of the Church of England hierarchy. It was a family concern until 1989, when ownership passed to Hymns Ancient & Modern, a Christian charitable trust. The Church Times was started to campaign for Anglo-Catholic principles, which it did with vigour and rudeness. But in the 1940s and '50s the paper began the move to broaden its outlook and coverage. It now attempts to provide balanced and fair reporting of events and opinions across the whole range of Anglican affairs. The rudeness we now leave to our readers. |
| Church of England Newspaper | The Church of England Newspaper is the original church newspaper, dating back to 1828, one of the oldest newspapers in the world. |
| The Tablet | A Roman Catholic weekly magazine with broad coverage of religiogious and ethical affairs. The Tablet was founded in 1840 by Frederick Lucas, a Quaker convert to Catholicism at the age of twenty-seven.
