The annual Calvin Symposium on Worship is a conference sponsored by the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship and the Center for Excellence in Preaching, held at Calvin College and Calvin Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The infamous “worship wars” typically pit “traditional” versus “contemporary” worship and music. But what if “tradition” and “innovation” actually belong together? What if “traditioned innovation” is a biblical way of thinking that is appropriate, indeed crucial, to bearing faithful witness to the Triune God? What might that imply for our worship, our theology, and our Christian life?
