The Strange Silence Of Songs Of Justice In Contemporary Biblical Worship, John L. Bell
The Strange Silence Of Songs Of Justice In Contemporary Biblical Worship, John L. Bell
Symposium on Worship Archive
The word justice is never far hidden in the vocabulary of the psalmists. Over half the psalms specifically use the word. But in worship today, particularly in the Western church, the word is suspect and politicised. In this workshop we look at how the global church does not share the reservations of the West, and also use examples of psalm settings which celebrate this necessary theme in our praise.

Psalm 1 - Jesus Knows The Way Of The Righteous, Mary Hulst, Paul Ryan
Psalm 1 - Jesus Knows The Way Of The Righteous, Mary Hulst, Paul Ryan
Symposium on Worship Archive
A worship service based on Psalm 1 - Jesus Knows the Way of the Righteous, with Pastor Mary Hulst preaching. This service is modeled after the Sunday evening student-led worship service at Calvin College called LOFT (Living Our Faith Together). LOFT services follow the movements of praise, confession and assurance, intercession, listening to God’s Word, and responding with acts of dedication and faith. The pattern is consistent from week to week but is often experienced as a time of free-flowing worship that makes use of visual art, dramatic readings, dance, prayer, and music from a variety of sources and in …

The Non-Verbal Languages Of Worship, Don E. Saliers

This workshop will explore the ways in which sight, sound, taste, touch, gesture and movement animate the essentials of Christian worship. In particular we will examine the “synaesthetic” elements of ritual action where our senses “cross-over” and animate one another in the experience of grace in Word and sacrament.

Calligraphy: Developing Word Pictures From The Psalms, Timothy R. Botts, Betsy Steele Halstead
Symposium on Worship Archive
We will begin by learning the ancient style of lettering called “uncial” as a basis for your expression of a psalm. The creative process will be explored through analysis of the grammatical structure along with miming and paraphrasing the text. Design principles such as size, contrast, use of color, repetition, letterpath and letterspacing will all be explored to give you the tools for making your own word picture in the form of a small scroll. Tim will also show some of his own work in the psalms to illustrate some of these principles. All supplies for the class will be …
The Pastoral Resources Of The Psalms, John L. Bell, Emily R. Brink
The Pastoral Resources Of The Psalms, John L. Bell, Emily R. Brink
Symposium on Worship Archive
For many traditions, the Psalms are primarily one of the sine qua nons of Sunday worship, whether sung metrically like hymns in the Reformed tradition, or slotted between the Hebrew Scriptures and New Testament reading as in Roman Catholic and Episcopal traditions. But to harness their use solely or primarily for liturgical purposes is almost to deny their origin as songs which spoke to God from particular experiences of delight, triumph, loss, depression or a hundred other emotions. Drawing on the breadth of expression in the Psalms, we will identify how in private pastoral encounters as in public worship arenas …
Intentionally Inclusive Worship, Mark Stephenson, Bill Vanden Bosch, Linda Vanden Bosch
Intentionally Inclusive Worship, Mark Stephenson, Bill Vanden Bosch, Linda Vanden Bosch
Symposium on Worship Archive
When Rev. Bill and Lyn Vanden Bosch came to Oakdale Park Church in Grand Rapids they decided that they would stay long enough for the church to become an inclusive community. They stayed 30 years. They will help participants understand what an intentionally inclusive church looks like. It’s not about creating programs, but creating a mindset which says to each individual, “You belong.” That same mindset avoids paternalism by also telling each person, “You have something to contribute.” Workshop leaders will touch on issues relating to inclusiveness and worship, pastoral care, outreach, and fellowship.
