Who is the week for?

The Multicultural Worship Week (4 days) is for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of multicultural worship and in particular the relationship between music, worship and culture.

This campus based course engages with the concepts and practicalities of Christian worship music around the world with application both to non-western church contexts and multi-cultural worship settings. Listening and song sessions will give exposure to different world musical styles and practical exercises will be readily applicable to a variety of worship environments. You will also develop some skills to encourage the development of “heart music” so that you can use this knowledge for the benefit of worship in your church or ministry setting.

What do the topics include?

• Heart Music

• Worship and Culture - Principles and Case Studies

• Song Texts-Case Study, Analysis

• Group Song Writing

• Song Creation Workshops

• Multicultural Worship
