Tried-and-tested material developed in a local church context by a
biblical scholar
Diddy Disciples is a creative and playful new worship and Bible
storytelling resource for babies, toddlers and young children.
Diddy Disciples aims to encourage participation, discipleship and
leadership from children's earliest years, using storytelling,
singing, colour, repetition, art and lots and lots of movement!
Peer-learning is actively encouraged with many opportunities for
young children to learn from each other. Groups are invited to
build their own Diddy Disciples sessions, choosing from different
options. Leaders can use the material to create a service to follow
the pattern of their church's Sunday worship, a simple midweek baby
and toddler singing session, or anything in between! Book 1
includes: Over 20 weeks' worth of fully worked-out sessions
organized into 4-6 week units from September to December All the
information you need to set up and run Diddy Disciples in your
group Plenty of opportunities to tailor the material to your own
context, resources and tradition All sorts of creative 'starter
ideas' for using everyday art and play resources to sparkchildren's
imaginations and engagement as they respond to the biblical
stories. The Units are: Jesus' wonderful love: six weeks
introducing some of Jesus' most famous parables God the maker: six
weeks on creation and caring for it, including a Harvest
celebration In November we remember: four weeks including All
Saints and Remembrance Sunday Getting ready for baby Jesus: five
weeks journeying through Advent to Christmas
Sharon Moughtin-Mumby considers the often unrecognised impact of
different approaches to metaphor on readings of the prophtic sexual
and marital metaphorical language. She outlines a practical and
consciously simplified approach to metaphor, placing strong
emphasis on the influence of literary context on metaphorical
meaning. Drawing on this approach, she read Hosea 4-14, Jeremiah
2:1-4:4, Isaiah, Ezekiel 16 and 23, and Hosea 1-3 with fresh eyes.
Her lucid new readings reveal the way in which scholarship has
repeatedly stifled the prophetic metaphorical language by reading
it within the 'default contexts' of 'the marriage metaphor' and
'cultic prostitution', which for so many years have been simply
assumed. Readers are encouraged instead to read these diverse
metaphors and similes within their distinctive literary contexts in
which they have the potential to rise vividly to life, provoking
the question: how are we to respond to these disquieting, powerful
texts in the midst of the Hebrew Bible?
