註釋Those of us hearing a "Well Told Story" may become more aware of theImplications of that story than by a mere recital of facts. The use of the "Story Form" ofrelating an event may be the best method of capturing the signifi cance of the actual event.In the understanding and presentation of the Christian faith, "Story" is considered as a"fundamental category of reality." It is the perfect vehicle for presenting the Good News ofthe Gospel." (John Paul Roth)The presentation of real events in story form preserves the remembrance of reality withoutlimiting its implications to the mere recording of historical facts.The Gospel story carries us beyond the realm of human understanding into the higherrealm of faith. The power of story assists us in bridging the gap between the inexplicablein the Gospel Story and the human experience,This holds true with the stories which accompany and support the underlying" Story of God in Jesus Christ."True stories, as is the Gospel Story, will take precedence over stories told only forentertainment or to serve a specifi c agenda, Yet even the stories of integrity and truth needto be told well and with skill. This is discussed in detail herein.As Theologians we must tell the Story with truth and understanding; as Evangelists withpersuasiveness and tolerance, and as Preachers, or Witnesses, we must share the Storyoften, convincingly and with Love."Loving God, loving each other and the Story never ends
