Spirit Play: A Manual For Liberal Religious Education Programs – Download

$100.00

For the most comprehensive written information about how to run Spirit Play in your church, this manual has the answers for you.  Some people prefer to read this before training, during their exploration phase while others purchase it after training to reinforce and fill in any gaps they might have.

Even though this manual is written from a Unitarian Universalist perspective, any liberal religious education program could use this philosophy and the practical information to create their own programming.

Your church may purchase a license to copy the manual for only your Spirit Play program.  You will receive a coded PDF file and may make as many copies as you wish for your church after completing a license contract.  This will save churches if you wish to have more than one copy.
