The diocesan Worship Working Group has just launched its new video podcast series, Working out Worship.
The Worship Working Group, established last year as part of the diocesan commitment to equipping and inspiring worship across the Diocese of York, has released the first five episodes of its new series, beginning with the question, What is the Point of Worship?.
After discerning the need to resource the whole people of God, with a focus on enabling everyone in our worshipping communities to engage in how worship works and how it can be transformational, the video podcasts were designed to be creative, engaging, and accessible to everyone.
Each twenty-minute episode explores an aspect of worship, in conversation between two or three people – a reflective conversation to help the listener consider theology and practice, and then what that might look like for us in our contexts and traditions.
Sammi Tooze, Diocesan Discipleship Adviser, says, “I am so pleased to see this video podcast series come to fruition! The members of the Worship Working Group have done a wonderful job in creating this new resource, which I’m sure will be helpful to many people in their discipleship and their ministries.
“It is wonderful to see this group joyfully resourcing the churches with whom we serve, asking questions and exploring topics which most of us encounter week-by-week, but might not have fully considered their meaning or others’ points of view.
“The conversations we have recorded so far have been fascinating to listen in to, and I’m really looking forward to hearing how people and churches across the diocese make use of them.”
All episodes can be accessed in video format or audio podcast. The first five episodes have just been released:
- What is the Point of Worship?
- The Theology and Practice of Welcome
- We Believe: Celebrating 1700 years of the Nicene Creed
- The Theology and Practice of the Gathering, and The Place of Scripture in Worship
The next episode on Advent will released in mid-November, amd January’s episode will explore worship with two Brothers of the Taizé community. Following this, each episode will be released on a monthly basis.
