Hey Jodi - jammed with 1/2 Speed just around the corner, so this will be brief. First ... great thoughts. Regarding telling the story, or components of the story, in addition to media, there is also ritual... the embodying of the story. Powerful pow…
Hey Richard... thanks for this. I too am looking forward to this. We have a great blend of worship artisans, worship curators, theologians and philosophers coming. With a blend of rest, daily rhythm, imaginative spiritual exercises, interesting peop…
Hi Jim
If you are open to a retreat rather than a conference, be aware of 1/2 Speed. Presenters include Richard Webb and Mark Pierson who post blogs here at CWT. 1/2 Speed is listed under Events on CWT, and the description is a bit more concise tha…
This is going to be a very cool event. I think everyone who attends will be profoundly impacted. I can't wait for it to start. - Richard

Linda, you are one crazily creative lady. You interwove so many elements into this liturgy of weaving... spectacular. Too good.
Very nice Skip - and liked the consideration you had in raising a couple of the pools.
I am doing one of these Jan. 9 - it is for the chapel devotional station that is part of an annual
Epiphany service. I note your comments about we too create rip…
Hey Mark - love the post, and most curious to learn how your presentation was received.
Linda - this is so good. So one of these days, I'm going to be asking your permission to do it where I am. Well done.
Hey Jared - working off Mark's comment about repeating themes / stations... My experience with repeating has been positive, both in terms of stations and rituals.
I try to work repetition at two levels. The first is on a seasonal basis - I have bee…
Profile Information
- The name of your church / organization?
- St. Paul's Anglican
- How are you involved in worship?
- Worship Design
- An aspect of creative worship you are passionate about?
- Spiritual Theology, and Liturgical Theology
I define spiritual theology as 'an engaging in a dynamic congruence between what we think about God (theology), and how we live with God (spirituality). Most often, spiritual theology as approached as a theology of spirituality. I seek to invert that - and seek to explore profound theological concepts in worship, ritual and liturgy, and so encourage people's desire and will to live out Christian spirituality.
- A challenge when planning creative worship?
- See above.
- A favorite creative moment in worship?
- Lent 2005, when a friend with cerebral palsy lead us in worship, dancing on her knees to Steve Bell's 'Here by the Water' - chorus below.
Here by the water
I'll build an altar to praise him
Out of the stones I have found here
I'll set them down here
Rough as they are
Knowing you will make them holy
Knowing you will make them holy
- A favorite quote or scripture about creative worship:
- "Images or symbols are a necessity of human nature in our present spiritually sensual condition ... in order that we may conform our lives, all our thoughts, words and deeds, to the image of the thoughts, words, and deeds of the Lord and His Saints." St. John of Kronstadt
&
The love of Jesus reveals to us that we are important, that we are a presence of God and we are called to stand up and do the work of God: to love others as God has loved them, to serve others and to wash their feet. Jean Vanier

Linda Sines said… - Thanks for the flowers! They have a delightful aroma :). Thanks for taking the time to browse through my pics and the very kind words. Both are flowers for the soul. Did you look at the ones here at CWT or at our website? At www.instantred.com, I've got mini devos that give the context to the texturized worship, but the archived devos only covers the years 2003, 2004 and a bit of 2005. Under "snapshots" I've got a few more current pics but no story. I would love to have more time to devo them all, but life is full and I've had to make choices. Unfortunately, devos got left on the chopping block.

- Thanks Jim, I look forward to your liturgies! Writing liturgies is my weak point. I love designing visuals, and I love to write stories, but writing liturgies and prayer station directives is not my strong area.

Linda,
I think I have deleted a comment of yours by mistake!! My apologies. You can do what Stephen does. Talk to him about what is needed, or trawl around on his website. I think environmental projections would go great at a RED event. Its an easy…
Nice stuff Cyndi. I like the thinking you have done around what you do, before you do it! Not enough people make that kind of close contextualisation to their congregation. Nice.
Thanks, again, to Eric Herron for his "Show and Tell" post! Glad I could be a "guinea pig" for this new way to connect with others on the site. Anyway, I mentioned that I created a PowerPoint presentation to go with the Genesis 1 creation story. It…
Thanks for posting this, Eric! I can't wait to see what other folks are up to!
This makes me think about what my high school jazz teacher said: "It is the silence between the notes that creates the rhythm."
Saying this was one of the ways he motivated antsy, immature, 16 yr. old jazz musicians to stop playing so many notes wh…
You've trained my eye to find your subtle inspiRED messages : )
