Worship 101: Principles And Practices For Song & Discipleship, Eric Mathis, Paul Ryan Jan 2016

Worship 101: Principles And Practices For Song & Discipleship, Eric Mathis, Paul Ryan

Symposium on Worship Archive

Learning to lead worship encompasses what you do and who you are. It entails spirituality as much as it requires skill. In this seminar, we will explore two vital practices of worship leadership: choosing songs and presenting scripture. Along the way we will discuss how we engage these practices as a matter of discipleship, identify cultural trends that resist our efforts, and recommend habits for faithful and healthy leadership.


How Can Art Bring About Such A Great Thing?, David Mcnutt Jan 2016

How Can Art Bring About Such A Great Thing?, David Mcnutt

Symposium on Worship Archive

How can a consideration of one of the most divisive issues during the Reformation helpfully inform the church’s corporate worship today? Questions surrounding the theology and practice of the church’s sacraments—including their number, their nature, and their function—were among the most hotly contested issues during the Reformation. Likewise, the category of sacrament has been appealed to in recent considerations of the arts and their place in the life of the church. In this session, participants will consider what we can learn from the sacramental life of the Reformed church and how that can inform our understanding of the potential role …


Universal Design For Worship, Barbara J. Newman Jan 2016

Universal Design For Worship, Barbara J. Newman

Symposium on Worship Archive

“Universal design” is now standard for architecture: we don’t want to retrofit buildings to make them accessible, we want to build them that way from the start. What would it look like for this vision to be extended to the worship services we plan and lead? What if we didn’t need to retrofit our planning to be accommodating to persons at all levels of ability and disability, but planned them that way from the start?

Sanctifying Art: Inviting Conversation Between Artists, Theologians, And The Church, Deborah Sokolove Jan 2016

Sanctifying Art: Inviting Conversation Between Artists, Theologians, And The Church, Deborah Sokolove

Symposium on Worship Archive

In her book, Sanctifying Art, Deborah Sokolove offers ways to understand the arts as a way of thinking and understanding, as a tool for healing the broken places in the world, and even as a divinely ordained means of grace. To sanctify an object or an activity is to set it aside for divine purposes, to purify it, to make it holy. Similarly, individuals and even communities are said to be sanctified when they live in close alignment with God’s will. Art is one of the activities that human beings have been given to aid in the process of sanctification. …


Liturgy That Cares, Howard Vanderwell Jan 2016

Liturgy That Cares, Howard Vanderwell

Symposium on Worship Archive

Some call it the “preliminaries,” some hastily put it together, and others have very elaborate liturgies. This sectional is built on the conviction that it’s time to take a thorough new look at the pastoral power of the order of worship. We will try to identify the needs worshipers bring to church, and we’ll examine the liturgy with an eye to finding the best ways to meet those needs. Our goal is the development of liturgies that join with the sermon in providing pastoral care.

Worship With Gladness: Beginning A Conversation About Worship's Deep Meaning, Joyce Ann Zimmerman Phd

We might lament that the religious culture in society is in decline. Or we can raise glad hearts that many people are intensely committed to the deep meaning and purpose of worship. This workshop will explore key issues for worship today, elements of worship, God’s Word in worship, baptismal identity and worship, and the relation of worship to everyday living.

Symposium on Worship Archive

The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is at the center of Christian faith, life, and worship.

Come to discover some new songs that you will want to sing, to glimpse …

What Does World Christianity Mean For Your Church?, Peter Choi Jan 2016

What Does World Christianity Mean For Your Church?, Peter Choi

Symposium on Worship Archive

The remarkable story of Christianity’s growth as a world religion has implications not only for mission work in the far corners of the globe but also for ministry in each local congregation. In what ways is the gospel—to use Andrew Walls’ terms—a “prisoner” as well as “liberator” of culture? What does faithful Christian ministry look like in our increasingly pluralistic contexts? How can sacramental worship speak to secular skeptics? In this workshop, we will explore key lessons for the life of your church that emerge from the spread of Christianity across the world.

How The News Shapes Our Prayers And Preaching: Deepening Our Lovign Engagement With The World God Loves, Elizabeth Dias, Richard J. Mouw, John D. Witvliet, Anne Zaki Jan 2016

How The News Shapes Our Prayers And Preaching: Deepening Our Lovign Engagement With The World God Loves, Elizabeth Dias, Richard J. Mouw, John D. Witvliet, Anne Zaki

Symposium on Worship Archive

If our public prayers and preaching are at all responsive to the needs of the world, then how we glean information about the world is crucial. Whether through new or old media, journalists have a key role to play in whether and how we pray and preach about everything from the persecution of Christians, conflict in the Middle East, creation care, and abortion to local concerns related to public education and social services. Join a conversation with a leading national journalist (Elizabeth Dias), a public theologian (Richard Mouw), and a seminary professor and preacher (Anne Zaki) that can inform your …

Utopia And The Law And Literature Movement, Michael P. Malloy Jan 2016

Utopia And The Law And Literature Movement, Michael P. Malloy

UTOPIA500

Dr. Malloy kicked off the UTOPIA500 project with a presentation on Jan. 21, 2016. His paper, Utopia and the Law and Literature Movement, marked the quincentennial of the publication of Thomas More's novel Utopia in 1516. Dr. Malloy explored the meaning and implications of the concepts of utopia and dystopia. He argued, with colorful graphic support, that More's novel was a precursor to post-modernist literature, and that in our own time there has been a linguistic transformation of the concept of utopia to contemporary meanings that are often entirely independent of More's novel. Dr. Malloy concluded that More's novel is …
