It's news I'm most proud to proclaim, this extraordinary Message of God's powerful plan to rescue everyone who trusts him, starting with Jews and then right on to everyone else! God's way of putting people right shows up in the acts of faith, confirming what Scripture has said all along: "The person in right standing before God by trusting him really lives."
Romans 1:16-17 (The Message)

Introduction

What is Christian Digital Storytelling?

I offered a multi-week evening class on Christian Digital Storytelling in Fall 2004 at Westminister Presbyterian Church in Lubbock, Texas. That was the initial genesis of this web resource. Unfortunately, no one wanted to take the class! :-( I'll hopefully be helping students at First Presbyterian Church in Edmond, Oklahoma create digital stories in Spring 2006 during our Wednesday night "BLAST" programs.

Curriculum for my educational workshops on digital storytelling is also available.

Midnight Oil Productions in Tulsa is sharing workshops on CDS also!
