BREAKOUT SESSION: Stories that Compost: Animating Children’s Moral Imagination

This is a storytelling workshop. But it's not about storytelling technique. It's about identifying the biblical, communal and personal stories that animate moral imaginations. Then articulating those stories in ways that give permission for them to be 'composted' and recomposed as needed. Participants are invited to learn 7 attributes that more beautiful, more just, more virtuous tellings of our sacred myths tend to share, and then to use them to practice better tellings of the biblical narrative. This is open source storytelling to equip faith communities and, ultimately, their children to grapple with both the anticipated and unanticipated challenges of their time.
