Borders and Beyond

July 22-25, 2009
Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary
Louisville, Ky.

Zé Lima Jr., Keynote Speaker

Come to the 2009 Worship and the Arts Conference to engage your theological imagination and renew your creative spirit as we consider the theme of “borders” in worship. Sponsored by Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Society for the Arts, Religion, and Contemporary Culture, and the Office of Theology and Worship of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), this four-day event will offer pastors, worship leaders, liturgical artists, church members and seminarians ideas and inspiration for creative approaches to worship planning and leadership.

Through lectures, workshops with professional artists and creative worship experiences, participants will explore the biblical, liturgical and theological symbolism of borders in a variety of media: music, dance, drama, writing and visual arts. Learn more about this conference.
