Network of Biblical Storytellers, International<\/a>. The Festival Gathering is a multi-day conference that gathers folks who are interested in learning biblical stories by heart and telling them to others. Along with workshop sessions and keynote presentations, the Festival Gathering always includes an “Epic Telling” at which a whole book of the Bible is told from memory in one sitting by a group of people. Each person learns a section of the book (around 5\u201310 verses), and then we tell it in order, one after another, until we’ve heard the whole book. Every year, the Epic Telling is a beautiful expression of the whole community, in all its variety, giving and receiving God’s Word.\u00a0<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
