Worship Articles

As I procrastinate today, I just wanted to post a couple of articles that have helped shape some of my thoughts on worship.
Anti Excellence http://www.reality.org.nz/articles/46/46-pierson.php
Worship Curator http://www.reality.org.nz/articles/48/48-pierson.php

I'm not sure how all this plays out in real life, but they sure present some interesting alternatives.

The cool thing about being Anti-Excellence and being a Worship Curator is that you can foster creativity and diversity, while also fostering rest and flexibility for people that traditionally do all the work. You no longer need to find musicians, a sound tech and a powerpoint operator every week when you allow corporate worship to be expanded beyond the box of singing. The purpose to bringing diversity to Sunday mornings is not to add more to the worship leader's plate ("Now I have to figure out how to integrate a poem into Sunday morning") but to allow the Worship leader rest as he/she allows someone else to lead through different media.
