This unsolicited feedback comes from the evaluation sheets handed in by 36 people who attended the full-day Godly Play introduction at Tres Cantos, a town north of Madrid. The event took place on Saturday, 26 February. The participants came from a wide range of churches and represented at least 13 different church groups, organizations or schools in the Madrid region. Most of them were completely new to Godly Play, although we were blessed to have one church leader amongst us who had been brought up on this method in the States. He was able to share briefly how he felt about Godly Play as a child. I was invited to lead the introduction day by the Tres Cantos Christian Community, which organized the event in partnership with Unión Bíblica / Scripture Union Spain.
