A TECH-SAVVY Spanish priest is turning to computer
game Minecraft for divine inspiration.
Daniel Pajuelo Vazquez uses the 3-D world-building game
to teach his pupils religious education.
The popular padre took the decision after observing his Madrid students watching Minecraft
videos on YouTube.
“I was able to introduce Minecraft as a tool for building a Catholic temple in my religion
classes,” said Vazquez.
“The students started to build a city and some of them made an amazing replica of the school.
“None of us had realised previously the
potential of these students in architecture.”
The project has led to an appearance on
national Spanish TV as Vazquez looks to spread
the good word.
