DVD included Powerful Persuasion – Sample, one of
the “gurus” of modern digital worship experiences, talks about how to use
multimedia (and multiple learning styles) in the worshipping community. He
starts by emphasizing how important it is for every Christian to know THE
Story (the Bible and the Christian story) and to know their own story as a
part of it. Then he goes on to describe how image, sound, beat, light,
movement and dance can help us take in more fully THE Story through our worship.
He recognizes that not everyone is ready to take a leap into all of this at
once and shows ways to do bits of it. A very interesting book offering much
to think about. Digital Storytellers: the Art of Communicating the Gospel in Worship – Len Wilson & Jason Moore, Abingdon Press, Nashville TN; 2002 A “how to” book for those interested in using digital ways of “telling the Story”; includes DVD and annotated bibliography Worship Theory &

He then gets into some of the very practical questions about including children of all ages and making worship comfortable not only for children and their parents but also for the rest of the congregation. He emphasizes the importance of “story” and a well crafted sermon, as well as factors that worship planners need to take into account. The author comes from a tradition that is not as liturgical as the Episcopal Church, but most of what he and the other writers offer can be applied to our situation. The book has an excellent collection of suggested resources and also suggestions for using the book as a group study. What is “Contemporary Worship”? – Paul
