15th Annual Household of God Conference
"Transforming Worship"
The 15th Annual Becoming the Household of God Conference, set to run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 25, 2012, will touch on Transforming Worship.
The daylong event (hosted by the Cathedral Church of St. Paul, Detroit) will feature two keynote speakers, the Rev. Ian Mobsby and the Rev. Karen Ward. The focus of the day will be finding a means of investigating liturgy and mission, in the context of meeting the needs of 21st century parishioners and their communities.
Mobsby is one of the founding members of the Moot Community in Central London, with past involvement in three previous alternative worship/emerging church communities. He is an ordained Anglican priest working with the Moot Community in the Diocese of London. Mobsby is also an associate missioner of the Church of England Archbishop’s Fresh Expressions Team and an associate lecturer of the St Paul’s Theological Centre in London. He is currently an associate priest at the Church of St Matthew’s, Westminster.
Ward is a Seattle-based freelance Anglican Missioner. She specializes in a wide range of methods of reaching emerging churches, including expressions of mission, liturgy/alternative worship, church plants, fresh expressions of church and empowering the next generations in mission. She was recently the vicar/abbess of Church of the Apostles, a creative, emergent, Lutheran/Episcopal Church near Seattle.
Group sessions will occur where participants can build a new worship service. The end result, the Rev. Jim Hamilton said, could be rather eye-opening.
“We won’t know what the service will look like until it actually happens,” he said. “It should be pretty interesting.”
Registration begins at 8 a.m. with the first session – an introduction to “Transforming Worship” – starting at 9 a.m. The $40 registration fee (through Feb. 6) includes lunch; after Feb. 6 and up to the day of the event, the fee is $50. The late-February date is a change in the traditional calendar for the event, which had previously been held later in the year.
