Why are awe, delight, truth, and hope so often missing or diminished in Christian liturgy today? How can our worship shape and express authentic Christian faith in the world of everyday life? In this workshop we will explore songs, texts, and a combination of verbal and non-verbal ways to communicate our worship. Through interactive learning, we will discover how, in the words of facilitator Don Saliers, “Christian worship, like a dazzling diamond, must continually be turned in the light of our living and dying, our struggles and our deepest hopes, in order to be fully appreciated” (Worship Come to Its Senses, p. 90).
Dr. Saliers will also be offering a public lecture called "Psalms in a Difficult Time: the Rhythms of Doxology and Lament" on Thursday, February 15 as the 2018 Rodney and Lorna Sawatsky Visiting Scholar. For more information on this event, please visit Grebel Events.
