About this title

Synopsis

The Shortest Distance between a human being and the truth is a story............ 'Finding a suitable story to tell the children during Sunday worship is one of the hardest tasks of any minister, and yet it is not a job that can be neglected, because story time is one of the most rewarding sections of the service, enjoyed by the adults as well as the children. In fact, even when no children are present, the adults will often demand a story! All of us it seems, young and old, are programmed to respond with delight to those wonderful words, 'Once upon a time..', and it is quite likely that the children's story is remembered long after the sermon has been forgotten. This anthology has been compiled as a resource for the busy worship leader, the Sunday school teacher, and the schoolteacher who regularly presides over non-denominational assemblies. The individual stories have been taken from all the major spiritual traditions and so, together, provide a non-didactic introduction to ecumenical and interfaith understanding, so crucial in these days when doctrinaire fundamentalism seems to be growing as a response to religious diversity.' 101 Classic stories from the world's spiritual traditions, collected and retold by Bill Darlison, with an introduction and comprehensive notes. Suggestions for appropriate biblical stories are given in an appendix. Ideal for: Interfaith worship Sunday school School assemblies Private meditation. Rev. Bill Darlison is Minister of Dublin Unitarian Church.
