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.

Church Forsaken: Practicing Presence In Neglected Neighborhoods, Jonathan Brooks

Symposium on Worship Archive

In this workshop, we will challenge local churches to rediscover that loving our neighbors means loving our neighborhoods.

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. It will pay particular attention to the use of the body as an expressive instrument that embodies and displays reflective thought and honest emotion as expressed …

Praying At The Table, Praying At The Font, Lester Ruth, Esau Mccaulley, John D. Rempel, Lisa M. Weaver, John Witvliet

Symposium on Worship Archive

For 2,000 years, one central component of Lord’s Supper and baptism liturgies has been compelling doxological prayers modeled in part after the pattern of the psalms and Jewish prayers of thanksgiving. But for Protestants who are a bit allergic to pre-written or set prayers, these symphonic doxological prayers may seem unusual or strange. Come to this session to explore with four worship teachers from four Protestant traditions some insights and learning about introducing or re-introducing robust prayers of thanksgiving at the font and the table in ways that can also introduce children and new believers to the grand metanarrative of …

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.

Flow: An Ancient Way To Contemporary Worship, Lester Ruth

Symposium on Worship Archive

Is there a way to follow the prescribed order of worship from mainline denominational worship resources in a way that feels legitimately and authentically contemporary? That is the question this workshop will try to answer. The source for this answer is ancient, from the earliest centuries of the church. Step by step, we’ll break down the process of rethinking what official orders of worship are calling for so that pastors and worship leaders can plan and lead a Word and Table order that feels genuinely contemporary. This workshop will cast a new, but classic understanding of traditional worship as well …

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?

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.

When The Story About A Song Changes How We Sing The Song, Emily R. Brink, Swee Hong Lim, Anna Nekola, Lester Ruth, Eric Washington

Symposium on Worship Archive

If a worship song is a self-contained item with text and tune, able to stand and be used independently of its origins, why do worshipers like to know the background stories behind the hymns and choruses they love? Does it make a difference when we know something about songwriters, their context, and the situation out of which specific songs come? Does the desire to know a song’s history tell us more about the song or about ourselves? This seminar on songwriting stories will explore these questions and more.

The Role Of English And Spanish In The United States, Cristina Moricete

Student Research Symposium

The Spanish-speaking population of the United States is made up of more than 40 million speakers, and it is also one of the fastest growing groups. However, Hispanics in the United States have faced much discrimination over time. Numerous news reports highlight instances in which they have been told either to learn English or go back to their countries of origin. This discrimination is not only directed toward immigrants but also toward American citizens of Hispanic descent. The purpose of this study is to see what young adults think about the role of English and Spanish in the United States. …
