| Riepilogo: | This article reports on a small-scale research project conducted in Australia investigating the perceptions of some Godly Play storytellers in relation to children as a means of grace. Seven Godly Play storytellers were chosen indiscriminately to participate by writing a short anecdote about a time during one of their Godly Play classes in which a child acted as a means of grace. A phenomenological framework drawing on the evocative method was used to present and analyse the written anecdotes. Two of the findings of this research are presented through phenomenological writing – (1) grace is communicated during moments of serendipitous insight, and (2) grace is communicated in the Kairos moment which demands an ability to know how to act – to seize the moment. While these findings are valuable, further research is needed to examine and verify ways in which children can act as a means of grace. |
