This workshop offered tools and ideas for creating rich, balanced language in worship. Participants explored principles for and discuss examples of welcoming traditional language gracefully; composing or improvising elements in fresh language; using songs and prayers to worship with the global church; and finding a place for lament. The session was based on the (then-forthcoming) book Worship Words, co-authored by Ron and Debra Rienstra.
Presented at the 2008 Calvin Symposium on Worship.
