About this title

Synopsis

Written by Mark Pierson, one of the pioneers in worship curation, this exciting new book explains why effective worship needs to be seen as an art form made up of a series of art works, rather than a mechanistic task of filling in the gaps in an order of service. At the heart of this new way of thinking about worship is the role of the worship curator. Many practical examples are used to illustrate ways in which worship, both inside and outside the church building, can be curated and delivered for spiritual formation and mission.

The Art of Curating Worship provides a new language and practice for designing worship with the potential for transforming our experience of God. The Art of Curating Worship promotes a new vocabulary to help worship curators work out how and why and where worship can best engage their community, inside and outside the church, in transformative encounters with God.

About the Author

Mark Pierson, a registered minister of the Baptist family of Churches in New Zealand, developed the model of worship curator more than 15 years ago. Since then, he has led seminars on worship curation in the USA, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and other parts of Europe, with a wide range of denominations and Christian organizations, seminaries, conferences, & festivals, including Greenbelt and Blackstump (Sydney).

His passion is curating spaces that allow people the opportunity to engage with the trinitarian community of God in appropriate, creative, and life-giving transformative ways.
