ILLUMINATE  |  shining a light on art, liturgy & worship. 

Hosted by Stephen Proctor. 

The landscape of modern worship in the Western Church is ever-evolving. Art is making a comeback & creativity is beginning to thrive in many forms & varied expressions.

But at what point does it begin to feel like a show? 
Is there a line between inspiring engagement & consumeristic entertainment? 
Does form matter?

Our sacred spaces have been consumed by technology & concert-style production. This has become a driving force in the emotion of our experiences.

But there's a movement happening. Many churches are recovering & integrating ancient liturgies & sacramental practices into their modern worship services. 

As you can imagine, this is creating both exciting opportunities as well as challenging tensions that pastors & artists are trying to navigate.

This movement serves as the backdrop for the ILLUMINATE podcast – formerly known ALT { art x liturgy x technology }

In this space, I have honest conversations with fellow artists, liturgists, & pastors about their own journey through deconstruction. We'll talk about what their reconstructed faith looks like today. My hope is that as you listen to these stories, you'll be inspired & challenged to explore deeper & more meaningful expressions of worship, creativity, & spirituality.

Welcome to ILLUMINATE.
