Book Description
Here is a resource that will dramatize the lighting of the Advent candles during your worship service. The lighting of each candle is proceeded by a statement, which the author suggests may be read from offstage. The series of statements reveal the significance of the traditional Advent characters: the angel, the shepherds, the wisemen, Mary and the Christ Child. This simple but dramatic resource provides an explanation of the deeper meaning of the events preceding Jesus' birth, as they spell out the relationship of these individuals to Christ, the Light of the World. Wayne L. Tilden has served as a Minister of Drama and Instructor of Music and Drama at various seminars. He is the founder of "The Salt and Light Company," a drama ministry. He holds the Master of Divinity degree from American Baptist Seminary of the West, Berkeley, California. Tilden is also the author of Letters From Bethlehem, a series of dramatic monologues for Advent (CSS Publishing Company).
