As defined by the Godly Play foundation, “Godly Play is based upon the recognition that children have an innate sense of the presence of God. All they lack is the appropriate language to help them identify and express it so it can be explored and strengthened. The Godly Play approach teaches classical Christian language in a way that enhances the child’s authentic experience of God so it can contribute to the creative life of the child and the world.” Basileia’s Deacon Councils are charged with leading each Basileia jurisdiction to incorporate Godly Play holistically into our Basileian way of life.
