What are sociologists of religion, intergenerational gurus, and missional leaders saying about the spiritual struggles, needs, and hopes of North American neighbors today? How can church leaders tell compelling stories that might address these neighbors' questions about spirituality? In this session, we will explore five models of life in the Spirit and ask how they might offer an opportunity for church leaders (including worship leaders) to dialogue with others and invite them into the spiritual life. One of the models deals with hospitality as a mark of the church, an important Christlike way of living in a world filled with immigrants and refugees.
A podcast from Calvin University featuring thoughtful leaders discussing key topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the context of Christian life and witness.
This session will explore how to talk about differences in Catholic and Protestant worship. Every time we talk with a neighbor, teammate, or coworker from a different Christian tradition about what we do in worship and why, we are practicing liturgical theology.
Come and join a conversation with knowledgeable and experienced preachers and worship planners as we talk about our best practices for Holy Week worship planning. Bring your questions and ideas as we share and learn together.

Music and prayer are prominent elements in worship liturgy. How does the culture of the worship community influence these worship practices? How should we engage culture and yet be countercultural in our practice of music and prayer? Engage with this panel from four continents as we explore how cultural values form and inform worship practices.
