We have used a number of dramas in our church services, either place of bible readings or in addition to them. The idea of this section of our site is to make them available to a wider audience. Please see the notes at the bottom of the page for hints about copying the text.

Notes on copying these dramas
The dramas were originally written in Microsoft Word using hanging paragraphs and space after each paragraph: this makes them much easier for people to read, but takes a lot more space in HTML for displaying as a web page. I recommend that instead of printing out the web page, you highlight the text and copy it, then open your word-processing program and paste it in. Then you can adjust its appearance using the "paragraph" menu on your program, before printing it out.
