Who May Apply
Participants must be engaged in full-time teaching, research, ministry, writing, or editing in a worship-related field. The seminar would work best with 10-15 participants, comprised of scholars and pastors from a variety of Christian traditions. The scholars could conceivably come from a one of several disciplines that inform worship studies: liturgy, theology, music, art, history, cultural anthropology, drama, etc. A few participants could well be selected from interested journalists, publishers, non-profit organization program leaders and others whose work forms the imagination of contemporary Christians.
