Designing Worship from the Bottom Up: Practical Ethnographic Tools for Worship Leaders
Session Description
The “Faith and Work” movement has become popular in many churches in North America in recent years. Many have sought to bridge the gap between Sunday worship and Monday work by showing how Christian liturgy and theology affect how we approach our weekday work. But our weekday work also affects how we inhabit Sunday worship in profound ways, and those who lead and craft liturgies do well to be attentive to this reality. This workshop will explore practical ways for worship leaders to discover the effect weekday work experiences have on worshipers, drawing implications for how to design and lead worship.
