Calvin Symposium on Worship
Grand Rapids, Mich.
January 29, 2009
Three scholars will present drafts of their work that will result in a book and DVD analyzing and documenting the emergent church movement in the US and the UK. Three respondents will raise questions of importance to the broader Christian community, especially questions of worship and evangelism. As the day progresses, we anticipate discussions of a cluster of significant themes in emerging church life—from consumerism, conversion, hermeneutics, to ecclesiology, eschatology, deconstruction, and postmodernism—that promise to challenge all participants to deepen their own framework for ministry. Participants can review the three authors' chapters ahead of time to prepare for this day of presentations, video segments, responses, and Q&A. Come to contribute to the conversation.
