Following worship, a student worship leader remarked, “I’m always told what to do, but rarely how to do it or even why I’m doing it.” This student is asking the church to ponder a critical question: How can we guide young worship leaders? More poignantly, how do we encourage them to create, play, and imagine? How do we the instill confidence they need to stand before the body of Christ? How do we cultivate a theological lens they can use for practice and reflection? Guided by these questions, this discussion-based workshop works toward establishing a framework for shaping the habits, practices, and formation of young worship leaders.

Seeing Christ in the Face of the Other: Singing the Psalms for Reconciliation with Karen Campbell
In 2020, the Presbyterian Church in Ireland published the book Considering Grace, which narrates the stories of 120 people and their proximity to the troubles in Northern Ireland. Though clergy were applauded for often acting as first responders to the victims, wider questions regarding the denomination were raised. Could they have spoken up more and been a prophetic voice? In response, the Presbyterian Church in Ireland commissioned Karen Campbell to convene groups to produce a suite of songs, prayers, and liturgies from the psalms of lament to be used in congregational settings to voice lament, confess complicity, and raise deeper questions surrounding justice. This workshop will discuss the process involved and the questions raised and will include some of the songs, liturgies, and prayers that were produced.In 2020, the Presbyterian Church in Ireland published the book Considering Grace, which narrates the stories of 120 people and their proximity to the troubles in Northern Ireland.
