Nairobi (Fides Service) - Centuries ago when not many people could read or write, Christian art served as a means to teach the Bible. Today, despite the many words used, pictures are still a good way of teaching. One of the latest undertakings of the Daughters of Saint Paul in Kenya is a catechetical programme called African Posters to Teach the Bible. With 62 beautiful posters the Sisters hope to open the riches of the Scriptures to Christians and non, children and old people, literate and illiterate. The posters in typical African style, bearing captions in English and Swahili, are accompanied by spoken lessons on the Bible stories depicted. The lessons are followed by discussion and input by the students. (Fides Service 23/10/2002)
