Communicators need to be able to illuminate the central truth of the text in ways that appeal to the audience’s distinct context. Participants reflect on how different ethnic communities approach preaching and the role of the preacher. Given the ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic diversity of the church, this workshop aims to teach leaders how to adapt their imagery, presence, and applications to make God's Word accessible to all people.
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.
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.
Congregations, pastors, and parents/caregivers have many opportunities to join together in worship and prayer practices that more intentionally engage children and help them come to know and love God and grow in faith together. Panelists will discuss ways to intentionally create intergenerational community in which people of all ages, including children, are welcomed as full participants whose participation enriches the community and gives praise to God.
