  2. Steve,

    It seems that worship conferences too often center around music: both the use of, and response toward it. It is this mindset that I see pitting generation against generation, and culture against culture. I would love to see some discussions on the theology of worship, rather than the implementation of it in our services. Perhaps drawing from the work of the Late Dr. Robert Webber.

    I would enjoy the discussion of how everything we do as a church should find it's life-source in worship. That out of our expressions of Love for God, and our attributions of Worth to God, our missions become that much more effective, our liturgies are enlivened, and our lives are enriched.

    Our response to the service is as a result of our worship, and is not the worship itself. Are we intimate and at ease in the presence of God? It will show through in our services.

    I have book after book after book, and depending on your budget, speaker after speaker after speaker who would benefit this discussion greatly.

    Grace and Peace!
    Timothy Putnam

  3. Steve,
    How about Lester Ruth from Asbury Theological Seminary? He gave the most riveting workshop at the Charles Wesley Society meetings this past fall. It gave me plenty of ideas.
