"Worship Renewal and Imagination in Visual Worship" Audio
In this presentation, William Dyrness will address the need for Protestants to "rediscover" the value of the visual in their worship, having been shaped by the Reformation's reaction against the usage and practices associated with art in the Middle Ages. As visual elements enter into our worship practices from all directions, we need to be discerning and have a theological framework for utilizing the power of the visual to inspire worship. But we also need to renew our God-given imagination to spark renewal.

"Worship Renewal and Engagement through Visual Arts" Audio
In this presentation, Elizabeth Steele Halstead will address how the integration of theology and art cannot end with building a building, but is just the beginning to a more holistic approach to worship. She will look at models of how planning teams can over the long term incorporate visual elements of worship into practices, such as the sacraments, and will offer practical application for how design elements such as line, color, texture, and space can reflect theological and biblical ideas.
