Beauty At The Cross(Roads): Quotations And Concepts, Bruce Herman Jan 2011

Beauty At The Cross(Roads): Quotations And Concepts, Bruce Herman

Symposium on Worship Archive

Is the Beautiful relevant to the life of faith? Is it mere window dressing/distraction or is it somehow crucial for our life together? Moreover, does beauty require anything of us besides personal assent? Is there anything like a transcendent or true beauty that requires commitment as much as perceptual apprehension? These and other questions surrounding the beautiful will be explored and discussed in this session.


Re-Tuning The Lyre, Karen Campbell Jan 2011

Re-Tuning The Lyre, Karen Campbell

Symposium on Worship Archive

Psalms have been part of personal and public worship in Ireland since the times of St. Patrick. Yet, today some react against the tradition of metrical psalm singing. The Worship Panel of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland was tasked to examine, revise and refresh the use of psalms in corporate worship. This workshop will demonstrate some newer Irish psalm settings for worship and suggest ways for creative use of the Psalms in worship so that the next generation will come to know God, ‘even the children yet to be born so that they in turn will tell their children’ (Psalm …

Fresh And New, Tried And True Ii: A Session On Hymn-Based Piano Collections For Worship, Norma De Waal Malefyt

Symposium on Worship Archive

“If we only had / could…” can become too common a phrase in smaller congregations. God invites us to worship as we can, not as we can’t. Paul Detterman spends the vast majority of his time working with “wee kirks” (under 70 in worship). This session will equip and encourage even the smallest congregation (or small group within a larger community) to design and experience deep, joy-filled worship using everything God has given them and requiring nothing more.

A Gospel Medley: African-American And Beyond, Kenneth Wallace Jan 2011

A Gospel Medley: African-American And Beyond, Kenneth Wallace

Symposium on Worship Archive

The word “medley” has multiple layers of meaning; we can speak of a gospel medley of songs, then there is the fact that African Americans are themselves a medley of cultures, We will sing and reflect on the multiple meanings, experiences, techniques, and values offered in African American and other cultures and music.


Creative Ideas For Using The Psalms With People With Intellectual Disabilities, Joyce Borger, Nella Uitvlugt Jan 2011

Creative Ideas For Using The Psalms With People With Intellectual Disabilities, Joyce Borger, Nella Uitvlugt

Symposium on Worship Archive

The psalms are the prayer book for all Christians and have as much to say to the person with the Ph.D. as the person with intellectual disabilities. The psalms give voice to both the praise and lament of all God’s children. In this session we will look at ways to assist people with intellectual disabilities to enter into the psalms and make them their own, using a multisensory method of music, drama, and visual ideas. This study of Psalms has a broad use within the Christian community.

Intentionally Inclusive Worship, Mark Stephenson, Bill Vanden Bosch, Lyn Vanden Bosch Jan 2011

Intentionally Inclusive Worship, Mark Stephenson, Bill Vanden Bosch, Lyn 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.
