Dan Kimball on Emerging Worship

August 22, 2007 – 7:09 pm | by Duncan

Dan KimballI taught a class on ‘emerging worship’ this morning, a part of a Trinity College course on Reformed and Evangelical Worship. See my notes from this time last year for a summary of the material from Sally Morgenthaler, Tex Sample, Dan Benedict and Craig Kennett Miller.

This time we also looked at reflections on alternative worship by Dan Kimball, in his book, Emerging Worship, in which he identifies ten common values in ‘emerging’ worship gatherings.

  • Move away from spectator type of gathering
  • Organic design
  • Sacred Space created for worship gathering
  • Multi-sensory approach
  • Freedom of movement
  • Different Focal Point
  • Revival of liturgy, ancient disciplines, Christian seasons, Jewish roots
  • Emphasis on prayer
  • Communion as central part
  • Jesus the centerpiece of worship

    • Dan is based at Vintage Church in Santa Cruz, California.
