Transforming Preaching: Communicating God’s Word in… von Jonny Baker
This booklet suggests different methods of delivery of the message a preacher wants to convey, in effect saying that the traditional sermon is not longer relevant in today's world. It gives a few examples of how a different approach may be taken.
MORE on Curating Worship today from Maggi Dawn 18.08.2010:
it bypasses the many difficulties that occur from the notion of “leading” worship. The culture of the “worship leader” pitches the lucky few to the front of the room in the starring role, either as Vicars or rock-star musicians, and the backlash against church hierarchies and worship superstars has created the fanciful idea that communities will coalesce without any leadership at all. “Curating”, which just as it sounds is drawn from the world of art, museum and exhibition, acknowledges creative leadership without making the curator the centre of attention.
These are the issues Jonny addresses here, and I like the way he does so, first by giving us a well thought out essay of his own, and then by giving attention through analysis and interview to a few of the practitioners of this mode of organisation and creative output.
the best bit of the book is the two short essays at the beginning, in which Jonny explains why engaging “hands on” in a created world is in itself a transformative experience that goes far beyond the intellectual exercise of reasoning out one’s belief. The imagination is engaged in a different way when your whole body is committed to the experience, which Jonny illustrates with accounts of his own visits to large-scale art installations and then translates into the world of spiritual transformation. I would buy this book for the opening two chapters alone. Oh yes, and the cover.
Hats off, Jonny, Lots of stars.
