For three consecutive years, the Henry Luce Foundation provided funding for three to four week- long summer seminars. These events were co-sponsored by Seminars in Christian Scholarship and Calvin Institute of Christian Worship. The seminars were led by senior scholars who are widely recognized in their field, and the events were designed for ten to fifteen faculty, pastors, practitioners, and advanced graduate students. The seminar leader and participants used this time together to participate in high-level academic discussions of critical worship-related topics. The seminar also required intensive research that was meant to lead towards producing publishable essays or creative projects. A follow-up colloquium was held the following January in conjunction with the Calvin Symposium on Worship and the Arts.
Following are descriptions of these three seminars with links to participant projects. These projects are the result of individual research connected with the seminars described.
