So yay! I have an order to fill from my Shop!! Which is great, because I worry so much that I’m not doing enough advertising, etc.

Anyway, the other day I happened upon an Australian puppet ministry group, and it makes me wonder: is there really a puppetry ministry scene in this country? I don’t know, because I’m Jewish - and we really don’t present puppetry in our synagogues… or at least the ones I’ve been to.

Thinking back, it occured to me that I have been to a puppet ministry show. My friend Jeany one year invited me to see her perform in her church’s show. She’s a very experienced puppeteer and she took on the main organising role for the event. I can’t actually remember the show much now - it was several years ago - but it was an enjoyable new experience.

And a strange one. I’ve been in churches before, having been to a Methodist school for much of my education. So it’s not a new thing… what was new, was attending a very large church for Christian Koreans. It really does make you feel like the odd one out when the whole event takes place in a language you don’t know (I’m by no means fluent in Hebrew, but as I’m used to synagogues more than I am any other religious experience, well, you get the idea)…

I wish I could remember more about the actual performance. Anyway, it does make me wonder - just how much puppet ministry is in this country. It doesn’t seem to be promoted in the same way it is in the US.
