Resources

The Calvin Institute of Christian Worship is dedicated to learning about worship from Christians in every place and time. This learning deepens our awareness of the breadth of the body of Christ, helps us to pray more concretely for the needs of the worldwide church, provides resources that can enhance music and prayers in worship, provides a wide perspective for evaluating our practice of worship, and informs our own thinking about the relationship of worship and culture. The resources in this section are a sampling of what Calvin College and Seminary faculty and students, as well as Worship Institute staff and conference participants have gleaned from their travels and studies.
