BRF are providing free Christmas readings from the Bishop of Chelmsford, Rt Revd Stephen Cottrell, for the period 18–31 December and the Paperlesschristmas video.
The readings are drawn from the New Daylight Bible daily reading resource. Stephen is a well known author and in these readings he takes a distinct approach to the Christmas story.
The Christmas story as you have never seen it before “Paperlesschristmas is a joint venture between the Bible Reading Fellowship (BRF) and the Jerusalem Trust. The nine short videos called On the Road with Mary and Joseph give the traditional nativity story an inventive, contemporary twist. Angels drive yellow vans, the shepherds travel in pick–up trucks and the wise men are leather–clad bikers.
“We are committed to helping people engage with the Christian faith in new and exciting ways. This free online resource is a key part of that strategy and we hope many more people will enjoy the site this year.’ Richard Fisher, Chief Executive Officer BRF
This unique approach has been used very successfully with classroom and church groups.
The accompanying discussion material being easily adaptable for both child and adult use encouraging all ages to reconsider this well–known story.
