NEW TREND: USE OF THE ARTS IN SERMONS AND WORSHIP
WHY?? [no linkd here yet]
Christian theology: Embodiment means worship with entire body
Mystical: arts as expression of Divine
Social change: Women moving into ministry during past generation has moved worship from left to right brain
Science: Brain research moves into theology and importance of including right-brain worship
Interfaith movement in the West: brings a non-dualistic harmony between body-spirit, and Eastern traditions of rituals and use of the arts. Resurrurgence of interest in pagan, wiccan, and nature worship
