One of these behaviors is the appearance of informal transportation modes, which move along certain paths to fulfil citizens’ needs. The phenomenon of informal transportation modes appears due to a lack of formal transportation modes existing, or a weakness in planning that does not consider the users’ needs or community behavior. This paper focuses on the location of informal transportation stops, which affect transportation movements and traffic jams, by observing and documenting the location and facilities of …

Living In Light And Justice, Calvin Institute Of Christian Worship, 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 …

Gracious Bilingual Worship, Martin Tel

Symposium on Worship Archive

Most often in bilingual worshiping communities, one language is dominant. Sometimes this disparity is massive.

In this workshop we will explore alternative and achievable approaches to bilingual singing and praying that feel less like accommodation and more like grace and celebration. Though we will be using the new Spanish/English resource Santo, Santo, Santo …

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.
