The MizMeister of Portsmouth put me on to Kore (thanks).
It is a fantastic collection of 'stuff' to aid worship and exploration; visuals, ideas, music etc etc. Fab! Their tagline is: "engaging with culture, exploring new ideas, creatively equipping the church"
Have a Look.
Highly recommended
My friend Mark has been having a bit of fun putting together a satirical look at the Worship Industry, enjoy!
There is another Taize service this weekend at Dorchester Abbey, it's at 7pm and I think I'll be heading up to it. See you there?
The Abbey website is here
(Oh and Dorchester Abbey is in Oxfordshire, its not in Dorchester aka Casterbridge in Dorset! )
How do a devout silent order meaningfully deliver an act of sung worship? Not all-together seriously, here is the answer!
I was watching a programme of American Folk music,subtitled "Hollerers, Stompers and Old-Time Ramblers!" It was fronted by the wonderful Seasick Steve (the programme is here if you are in the UK).
Seasick Steve is a natural story teller whether he is talking or singing, but there was one particular phrase he used that really caught my attention. As he introduced Diana Jones he said that he'd been listening to her rehearse earlier and she had "brought the silence to me!"
I loved this phrase! It struck me as a great phrase for when we connect with God in Worship (by whatever media that is), "It brought the slience to me"
