Church and Chapel - Teachers Notes

Church and Chapel - Teachers Notes

Firstly, although these resources are based on a particular church and chapel, they have been designed to be used by any school to compare these two types of Christian building and their form of worship.

Both resources have been produced using Illuminatus Opus. You do not require any software to be able to use these files. Once downloaded, they should play on any computer and be easily moved and copied.

Nb. The church resource will be downloaded together with 3 video files. In order for the videos to play within the resource, these video files must be placed in the same folder as the resource itself.
