Thursday Nights in Lent: What moves you? The Embodiment of Liturgy
“O taste and see that the Lord is good; happy are those who take refuge in the Holy One.”
Gestures, silence, movement, sight, sound, space and taste are among the things through which we connect in our liturgies. Verbal and non-verbal are essential to our experience of the Sacred. Our awareness and our bodily participation provide the vechicle through which we connect to the Holy.
For five Thursday evenings we will explore the tangible and the aesthetic, the mystical and incarnate (what happens in and because of our bodies) realities of liturgy and how it is our ‘selves, our souls and bodies’ participate in a community’s encounter with God.
Presenters will include on two nights Dr. Don E. Saliers, William R. Cannon Professor of Theology and Worship, Director of the Master of Sacred Music Program, Emeritus, Candler School of Theology at Emory University. Don is author of many books including, Worship Come to Its Senses, Worship as Theology, Human Disability and the Service of God, and A Song to Sing, a Life to Live (co-authored with his daughter Amy Saliers of The Indigo Girls). Other presenters will include Cathedral staff.
