If the Bible tells us to love God with heart, mind, soul and strength, how does this affect how we worship? Alison Adam of the Iona Community will lead an exploration of issues of participation in worship, focusing particularly on resources that engage worshipers on more than a “head” level. The workshop will look at the use of words and symbol, song and movement as tools for the broader participation of the people of God.
Alison Adam, from the Iona Community in Scotland, enables churches and groups to develop a more participatory and engaging style of worship– which is relevant to today’s world and yet maintains a strong liturgical basis. Alison has been a member of the Wild Goose Worship Group from its inception in 1984, and worked with John Bell and the Wild Goose Resource Group for 7 years. She moved to London in 2002 and now works freelance as Worship Works. Alison is a regular visitor to North America and has facilitated retreats, youth & young adult workshops, “Big Sings,” worship workshops and presented at conferences in Canada and the U.S.
