Calvin Symposium on Worship 2006
panel with Roberta King, Jorge Lockward, Setri Nyomi, Angela Tam, additional global guests
hosted by Emily Brink
The Calvin Symposium on Worship is blessed by increasing numbers of global guests who come to worship and learn. In this session, we explore cultural and liturgical issues our brothers and sisters are addressing especially in Africa and Asia-for example, intergenerational and multicultural worship; use of indigenous songs, instruments, and dance; use of technology; challenges of religious pluralism. We explore how God is building his church in ways that move us all closer to the unity we have in Christ even as we celebrate the gifts of cultural diversity.
