Clowns, Storytellers, Disciples
Fleming Drane
The call to be culturally relevant while also remaining biblically rooted is arguably the greatest challenge facing today's Christians. The author addresses this question by combining the story of her own spiritual journey with informed theological reflection on the bigger picture of what God is doing in today's world. As she recounts her pilgrimage from personal tragedy to international ministry in the creative arts, she not only offers an inspirational account of God at work, but also provides plenty of practical suggestions for innovative ministry. There are specific ideas for interactive Bible study, as well as clear guidance on how churches and individuals might begin to use the arts with theological integrity - offering a resource for the renewal of worship and evangelism in a post-modern world. The author has an international clowning ministry, speaking and performing regularly in the UK and abroad. This book provides lots of ideas for how churches can use the creative arts in worship services, and practical advice for getting into clowning ministry. An appendix of sketches is included.
