on worship and play

High up on the list of things that hinder worship is the idea that there's some particular way to be good at it, that one can be more or less effective...

Worship is simply the Christian word for the joy of existence.

    What a beautiful quote. I love that. I am hoping that you are able to respond to comments, as I have a question and have been unable to find an answer. I have been through training following the book "Young Children and Worship." Can you tell me what is the difference between YCAW and Godly Play? I don't completely understand. I love YCAW and how it has prompted my children's interest in the Scriptures and fostered a deeper love for our Father God. I want to incorporate this into our home, but want to make sure I discuss it and think about it correctly. Thank you for any information or direction you can provide.

      I'm so sorry that I didn't reply when you posted, April. The two approaches have a lot in common. My understanding is that YCAW is an adaptation of GP into a more Reformed Christian tradition. It sounds like it's working well for your family, which is great to know.

Thanks for conversing with me about Godly Play®! I do moderate some comments for the sake of the children I write about. Please be polite: to quote the Velveteen Rabbi, Whatever you're going to say in response to my posts, consider whether it's the sort of thing you would say to your host or their children if you'd been invited to someone's home for tea. If it isn't, then please don't say it here.
