Godly Play at St. James is a creative approach to Christian spiritual formation that uses storytelling, simple objects, and "wondering" to help children explore faith, scripture, and tradition in an imaginative and personal way, honouring their innate spirituality rather than just teaching facts. It's about creating a safe space for discovery, allowing each primary school age child to engage with sacred stories and liturgical actions, and fostering lifelong spiritual learning through play and personal response.
