WORKSHOP 1
"A Place of Encounter: Renewing and Designing Liturgical Spaces"
The church has no building code save proclaiming Christ crucified and risen. And how do we accomplish this - in a new design, in a renewal project, or in our daily use of the buildings we have? Explore these questions, especially as they relate to Renewing Worship Principles for Worship and ELW.
WORKSHOP 2
"Dressed for the Season: Preaparing Seasonal Worship Appointments (or environments) without Breaking the Bank"
Vestments and paraments are just the beginning of preparing the assembly’s worship space to celebrate a season. As others prepare the music and the liturgy how can ministers of the visual arts adorn not only furniture and worship leaders with seasonal color, but the whole assembly? Come ready to share your ideas for crerative, inexpensive possibilities.

"Principles of Art and Architecture"
At least nine English-language theological statements about art and environment have been developed since 1978. What do these documents share in common? How do they reflect their origins, whether denomination or academic community? What can we learn from a comparative analysis of this emerging theological genre? How do they in reflect different "models of the Church?" Bring you own questions to interact with these nine statements in a database search format.
