Anne has been wondering about Godly Play since she was first exposed to a Godly Play story in 2005. She was accredited as a storyteller in 2006 and as a trainer in 2008. She marvels at the way children, particularly young boys, respond to Godly Play, opening themselves to their experience of God, finding language about and connection to a great mystery. She delights during trainings in watching adults open themselves to the possibilities for Christian nurture for children, themselves and for their congregations.

Amy Crawford is the Team Leader for Faith Formation and Mission with the United Church of Canada. She fell in love with Godly Play over 20 years ago when she first she sat on a floor listening to Jerome Berryman tell his stories. Since Amy was accredited as a Teacher Trainer in 2007 she has trained storytellers and trainers around the world. The parables are her favourite genre and she always looks forward to what happens when people knock on the lid and come inside.
