A Conversation with the Rev. John Thornburg
Director of Learning at the Texas Methodist Foundation and a frequent guest on Worship Matters, John Thornburg shares with Dr. Derek Weber, Director of Preaching Ministries, what it means to decenter power in worship. How can the preacher and worship leader make sure that other voices are heard, and other wisdom is shared during an act of worship which comes from all the people? How can the “variety of gifts” be utilized as a regular practice in worship? In this time of rethinking how we do church, questions of power and access become crucial.
