Making Worship A Verb For All Ages: Cultivating Worship Awareness And Inviting Response, Terri Gaeddert, Rosi Penner Kaufman

Symposium on Worship Archive

WorshipArts at Rainbow Mennonite Church in Kansas City is a program for K-5th grade congregants.

A Vital Worship Grant from the Calvin Worship Institute in 2014–15 provided the resources to expand awareness and integration of the program more fully into the worship life of the Rainbow congregation.

Strengthening The Soul Of Your Leadership, Ruth Haley Barton

Symposium on Worship Archive

Do you ever feel as if your leadership is something you “put on” for particular occasions rather than a dynamic that emerges from deep within you? Is the pressure to perform compromising your own experience of worship? Do you find yourself manufacturing emotion as you lead others because your own intimacy with God has grown cold? In this workshop we will share honestly about the challenges of spiritual leadership in a high-performance culture.

Understanding Face And Shame: A Servant-Leadership And Face Management Model, Jiying Song

Faculty Publications - George Fox Digital

Clergy can have a negative impact on churches and other individuals when they knowingly or unknowingly attempt to save face, that is, try to protect their standing or reputation. The desire to gain face and the fear of losing face and feeling ashamed will likely permeate clergy’s decision-making processes without even being noticed. This study explores the essence of face and face management and the relationship between face management and two characteristics of servant-leadership—awareness and healing—in both Chinese and American churches through the methodology of hermeneutic phenomenology. Prior to this study, to my knowledge, no hermeneutic phenomenological research of face …
