> Dear Godly Play Friends,
> Each month I will write you a brief note about what we are working on at Godly Play Resources as well as other things, as the spirit moves. This month the focus is on "The Greatest Parable," the lesson about Jesus’ public ministry.
> 
> The material is nearly done. I have been working with the latest prototype for many months. What’s the holdup? After all, I started working on this in the late 1980s, when the attached picture was taken at Christ Church Cathedral in Houston. In those days I was their Canon Educator (1984-1994). The picture comes from one of Thea’s and my Saturday research classes. Still, why the twenty-year holdup?
> 
> In June I discovered why I couldn’t finish it. I was teaching the second practicum in
> the certificate program at General Theological Seminary. (Click on "General Theological Seminary," then "Center for Christian Spirituality.") There were seven students in the class and they had all had the first practicum the previous January. When the week was over, we --- as well as my two teaching assistants, Cheryl Minor (US) and Peter Privitt (UK) --- had experienced all of the Godly Play lessons during two, five-day weeks. We had presented and discussed lesson after lesson for eight hours a day for ten days. What had previously been only been in my mind had now been experienced as a whole, mostly with others presenting the lessons. Now I understood. The whole Christian language system (the contents of the Godly Play room) had come out of this lesson, because Jesus had generated and shaped it. It needed to be reconnected to this source. How could I do that?
> 
> Watch for an official announcement from Godly Play Resources! The lesson will be ready sometime in the next few months. We’ll talk again in August when I get back from the launch of Godly Play Australia at a national conference in Sydney, where they will also train 90 teachers. In the meantime, have a wonderful July!
