With deep grief we announce the passing of Godly Play Founder The Rev. Dr. Jerome Berryman. Jerome was a scholar, a practitioner, a teacher, a fierce advocate for children, and most importantly, a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather. He was also a dear friend and mentor to Godly Play storytellers, staff, trainers, and scholars worldwide. His infectious laughter, light, and his unwavering commitment to centering children will be missed by all. Jerome gave us the gift of a way of being with children, with one another, and with God, that is honest, brave, and deeply faithful.
“Jerome delighted in the growth of Godly Play around the globe. Canada was there early in that development and Jerome was interested and invested in Godly Play Canada from the beginning. A great man who has left us a great gift. Rest in peace my friend.”
-Andrew Sheldon
