On arts in worship

THE SECOND Methodist School of Music (MSM) Worship Symposium was held at the MSM premises and at Trinity Theological College (TTC) from June 22 to 24, 2011. It is a biennial gathering of worship leaders (pastors, musicians, etc.) from various denominational backgrounds and traditions from Southeast Asia.

With the avenue of exchange, learning and sharing of resources, the workshops included lectures and panel discussions on worship matters, theology, musical skills and choral concepts, with a special focus on the arts in worship through the seasons, and how to integrate multicultural elements into the worship experience.

More than 134 participants from Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan and the United States represented various denominations. Workshop clinicians and facilitators included lecturers from overseas and the TTC.
