A story from Unlock Hull:-
Even The Smallest of Things:
“One special memory was the Good Samaritan which we did as a small group. For me it encapsulated the Unlock technique. It started with questions like: Have you ever been mugged? Have you ever gone out of your way to help anyone? Have you ever turned a blind eye?
This led to some amazing discussions and we ended up making puppets that were like walls with heads, arms and hands. One was the “stick yer neck out” wall and the other was the “keep yer head down” wall. Characters came knocking at the walls to ask for help.
The keep-yer-head down wall wouldn’t get involved but the stick-yer-neck-out would and characters came out from behind it with things that could help (eg: time, money, practical help etc). In the end these characters (made of elastic) got stretched and stretched until they became exhausted. The session finished with Jesus coming into the scene as the door which could be opened or shut according to His wisdom.
Unlock has a way of thinking that can’t be packaged. You just have to learn it by doing. The most powerful stuff in practice is the small intimate Bible study situations where your story comes first and then how it relates to the Bible. I found I got more from the Bible looking at it this way round. The stories become yours and there’s lots of WOW moments. It’s a magical thing really. It has affected my way of thinking. Stories are validated, even the smallest things.”
