Space Speaks… “Before anyone has uttered a word, [the worship space] embodies the truth that the Christian experience is one of vibrancy and colour and creativity, of flux as well as permanence.” Nick Thorpe, writer
The workshops encourage groups to consider the environment[s] in which we worship, and to reflect on how the space frees or inhibits us in our expression of faith and our sense of community as people of God.
Encouraging all age involvement in re–creating physical space is a transforming process by the use of all the senses. A further aim is to foster and encourage inclusiveness and participation in worship.
