Psalm Singing And The Mission Of The Church, Wendell Kimbrough
Psalm Singing And The Mission Of The Church, Wendell Kimbrough
Symposium on Worship Archive
Why sing psalms? Does it matter how we sing them? For many, psalm singing is a nice idea (because they’re in the Bible), but not essential to the mission of the church. In this workshop, songwriter and worship artist Wendell Kimbrough will share from personal experience and biblical conviction why he believes the church cannot thrive without singing psalms. He’ll share the vision that informs his work as a songwriter and how he’s connected the dots between the Great Commission, emotional wholeness, and the challenge of the psalms. We’ll spend time singing and have a lively conversation.
Everything I Learned About Giving A Eulogy I Learned From A Science Fiction Novel, W. David O. Taylor
Everything I Learned About Giving A Eulogy I Learned From A Science Fiction Novel, W. David O. Taylor
Symposium on Worship Archive
Christians have all too often failed to think thoroughly and biblically or theologically about the nature of a good word in the fi nal testimony of a person’s life and have instead allowed the practice of eulogizing to be determined by Greco-Roman and popular ideas. In this workshop we will explore what it means to speak the unvarnished truth about the deceased in such a way that the grace of God becomes the focal point rather than the dead person’s decency, niceness, or superlative accomplishments.

What Makes Christian Worship Trinitarian?, Cornelius Plantinga Jr.
What Makes Christian Worship Trinitarian?, Cornelius Plantinga Jr.
Symposium on Worship Archive
The doctrine of the Trinity is old, deep, and mysterious. How should Christian trinitarianism manifest itself in worship—that is, beyond simple repetition of the trinitarian formula? How might deep trinitarian worship bless God and ourselves? How might it even affect the way we look at each other after worship is over?
A Tale Of Two Rivers, Swee Hong Lim, Lester Ruth
A Tale Of Two Rivers, Swee Hong Lim, Lester Ruth
Symposium on Worship Archive
Most histories of contemporary worship emphasize well-known stories like the conversion of hippies in southern California in the late 1960s or the rise of megachurches in the 1980s. While those events are important, there are whole other backstories behind the rise of band-based, technology-driven, hand-raising, extended-singing worship. This workshop will lay out a much fuller history than you’ve ever heard before (including a sampling of music through the years) and raise some pastoral questions for discussion.

The Formative Power Of How We Listen To Worship Music, Anna Nekola
The Formative Power Of How We Listen To Worship Music, Anna Nekola
Symposium on Worship Archive
How do you listen to worship music? What technology is involved? What sensory experiences are significant? How do you interpret and evaluate them—and then explain them to others? In every culture and century, listening practices shape singing practices. Together, they shape our “praying through singing” practices. Come to this workshop to explore with fresh eyes aspects of our ordinary engagement with music that we rarely pause to examine, and to explore what this could mean for faithful, vital worship ministry today.

Worship God With The Dance! The Deep Connections Between Worship And Dance, Kathleen S. Turner
Symposium on Worship Archive
The guiding question for this workshop is: What is the relationship between liturgy and liturgical dance, and how does such a relationship enhance church worship? This workshop will explore the ways in which Scripture, liturgy, and sacred song create avenues for expression and interpretation by and through liturgical dance movement. These avenues of movement expression and interpretation help to bring clarity and comprehension to both liturgy and one’s knowledge of the Most High God.

Collaborative Art In The Church: How To Start, Regina Jupp
Symposium on Worship Archive
This session is designed for anyone from artist, to layperson, to worship pastor, to theologian. How can we come together to construct a thriving visual arts ministry? How do we ensure that church art is both understandable and theologically sound? One way to incorporate meaningful, appreciated art into the local church is by involving as many people as possible. While that can seem risky or overwhelming, in this hour, we will learn how to use teamwork to our advantage and explore a collaborative model for future projects. This workshop is a condensed version of Thursday’s seminar.

Living In Light And Justice, Jonathan Hehn Osl, Choral Scholars, Kate Williams
Living In Light And Justice, Jonathan Hehn Osl, Choral Scholars, Kate Williams
Symposium on Worship Archive
One of the great gifts of the liturgical movement in the mid-twentieth century was the recovery of Evening Prayer as a public daily service meant for the whole church, and not just something to be celebrated in monasteries or as a private devotion. Prominent liturgical historians and musicians of the 1960s and 70s, many of whom taught at and/or were alumni of the liturgical studies program at the University of Notre Dame, were instrumental in recovering the ancient “cathedral-style” of Evening Prayer (Vespers). This style included the now famous Lucenarium rite as well as a robust sense of congregational participation …

Flow: An Ancient Way To Contemporary Worship, Lester Ruth
