El culto es una experiencia comunitaria integral, que de manera explícita o aún inconsciente, contribuye a modelar el carácter y la identidad de cada participante. En este taller vamos a explorar cómo las diferentes prácticas cúlticas repercuten en la formación de los y las creyentes y vamos a compartir ideas creativas para enriquecer la celebración de cultos  que apunten intencionalmente a la transformación y al discipulado cristiano.

[Communal worship is a holistic experience which explicitly or even unconsciously shapes the character and identity of each participant. In this workshop we will explore how different worship practices influence believers’ spiritual formation. We will share creative ideas to enrich worship services intentionally aimed at transforming lives and shaping Christian disciples.]

Presented in Spanish at the 2014 Symposium
