Are You Really God or Just a Shockin' Holy Saint?

April 4th, 2009 by Tim Inman

Sister Peig Cunningham taught her North Dublin school children Bible stories and then recorded them retelling the stories. The recordings were discovered in storage by a priest long after the school had been closed. EMI released the recordings, some of which were made into award-winning animations like this one, by Brown Bag Films.

If you listen to multiple recordings, you start to pick up common expressions in the stories, evidence of Sister Cunningham's ability to put 'North Dublin' flesh on (to incarnate) these Gospel stories. Beautiful.

    Wow! such little voices carrying such a huge message! very encouraging to hear such confidence in their telling of each story. I posted the Easter one on my blog for my friends to be encouraged also. thx!

    Fun stuff. Sounds like the children knew the stories fairly well. The elaborations do put flesh on the story, showing the children are not just repeating a story but understand them, which is very important.
