Rags of Light: A Creative Workshop with Dr. Brian Walsh

Written By Kathleen Busch
 

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 10am-1pm PDT

Dr. Brian Walsh will be with us Sept 20th for a creative workshop in conversation with his new book, Rags of Light: Leonard Cohen and the Landscape of Biblical Imagination.

Workshop: Liturgy, Contemporary Music and Liberating the Imagination. This conversation would specifically discuss the shaping of liturgy that engages contemporary music. It will offer examples of Eucharistic liturgies that featured the music of artists like Bruce Cockburn, Van Morrison, Ani di Franco, Joni Mitchell, Tracy Chapman, U2, Leonard Cohen and Bruce Springsteen.

How does one write liturgy that invites the work of these artists into the rituals of the church which avoids cheap fandom while respecting the art in such a way that resonance with scripture?

And, importantly, how does such liturgy shape the liturgies of our lives?
