Leadership, Liturgy and Learning: Embodied Ritual

In this 3-credit course, we will explore the design, experience and leadership of multigenerational worship and ritual in for congregational contexts, emphasizing the role of liturgist as leader of faith formation in religious community. Texts, field trips, video and story will be drawn from the work of artists, performers, clergy and thinkers who guide our work in the study and creation of transformational ritual and liturgical forms. There will be dancing, there will be poems, there will be food, there will be song, there will be art-making and picture taking.
