Worship in Difficult Times
Kathy Smith
Calvin Symposium on Worship 2007

All congregations experience crises, transitions, and conflicts. Worship will be affected by these difficult times, and can be the place where healing begins and continues. This workshop will examine the reactions of congregations to difficult times; explore themes and resources for worship in times of crisis, transition, and conflict; and provide advice for congregational leaders as they guide their congregations through the turbulence of difficult times.
