Rieth Recital Hall
Music and Worship Workshop with John Bell
Goshen College and Credo Chamber Music Association will hold
a one-day workshop featuring John Bell of the Iona Community in
Scotland. The focus will be on all of God's people:
*All God's People Sing! It is regrettable that some of God's people
don't sing. Much of John Bell's work is in convincing people that
they can sing, irrespective of their background and perceived
ability to make music. In this experiential workshop he illustrates
techniques and offers insights into how all of God's people can
sing a new song to their Maker!
*Singing All God's Music - Twenty-first-century Christians, if they
are truly contemporary, should have within their worship some
indication that they belong to an international community. If they
only sing songs from our own land, they end up in danger of
worshiping a national idol rather than the universal God. Through
stories, prayers, and much three- and four-part singing, John Bell
shows how the music of the world church is accessible to
congregations in the "developed" nations and can enrich their
experience of worship.
