GREAT PROJECT FOR THESPIANS: ORIGINAL TEXT BIBLICAL STORYTELLING

"God has given gifts to the Church:"  sometimes we forget what a varied lot they are.  We have all heard people who memorize the Scripture and recite it.  There are also those with a dramatic gift who recite the Scripture, but with a dramatic, storytelling style that brings it alive as we watch and listen. Various organizations encourage this.  Just yesterday, I noticed a few example of Biblical storytelling at The Network of Biblical Storytellers, International(nbsint.org).  There are numerous Bible stories on their Resources site.  One such example is presented here:  the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego -- enjoy!  And please encourage any person you know with a penchant for dramatic Bible story-telling to develop that talent!  Please note:  I am not, here, advertising for anyone who is offering lessons on Storytelling.  I am not at all affiliated with these groups.  I simply want to show an example of how someone used a certain dramatic talent in the re-telling of a Biblcial narrative, incorporating most of the actual words of Scripture.
