Every Sunday during worship, creative people do excellent work. Pastors preach the text and lead the liturgy, musicians provide instrumental and choral music, educators shepherd children, and artists work on visual arts and other creative experiences that heighten everyone's sense of worship. However, without careful attention, the worship event can become a collection of pieces rather than a glorious whole. Churches of every size can invite clergy and laity to join together and create a service that inspires with its unity, harmony, and variety. Led by artist Ellen Phillips, this workshop was a time to explore collaborative methods as well as to share ideas for the art of worship.
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.
