Grant Lovejoy on Orality.

• Grant concludes his seminar called "Introduction to Orality"

• How do you present the need for oral communication to people who don't read without them feeling stupid?

Join us today to hear Grant's thoughts on this question and to hear a very practical way of presenting oral teaching styles to non-readers.

Grant Lovejoy has taught on storying in more than twenty countries and has been a keynote speaker at international conferences on orality. A storying-based leadership training process that he helped develop is in use in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. He has also taught preaching and Chronological Bible Storying at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, Texas.

There is no Pick of the Week during this series to allow maximum time for Grant to speak on the show! We'll be back soon with our weekly picks!

Grant Lovejoy on Orality.

• Grant continues his seminar called "Introduction to Orality" and today assesses literacy around the world. Listen (with surprise!) to information from the West and developing nations.

• He looks at reading rates in our Western younger, emerging generation.

• Finally he concludes by discussing how we might introduce this important topic of discussion to others ... without causing offense.

We hope you enjoy this concluding show on making our churches relelvant to oral learners!

As part two in our discussion Bryan and Yvette begin to brainstorm about what their church might look like if it was to be geared for the oral learner.

Join us in the forum to discuss some of the issues raised in the show.

This is definitely a short series where we would love to have your feedback. Please do use the contact details given below to send us your audio feedback and comments.

Is Bryan right when he says he might back off with radical change? Should we "ease in gently" as Yvette suggested? Or should we not bother at all with change? Will our churches die (for lack of relevance) if we do not adapt to the needs of oral learners? Will local churches cease to grow if we ignore the oral communicator majority in our meetings, preaching and worship styles? Join the discussion in our forum today!
