Download or read book And We Shall Learn through the Dance written by Kathleen S. Turner and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-28 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liturgical dance is a way to present, reflect, instruct, learn, study, and share religious beliefs with one's self, within one's worship community, and with one's God. Such a belief is confirmed and witnessed within a variety of religious settings throughout the world from the beginning of time to this present age. However, there is a vacuum of resources that connect liturgical dance within the Christian context as a tool for religious learning within the field of religious education. With the continual rise of liturgical dance as an artistic form of expression, this book proposes that liturgical dance offers unique attributes conducive to the teaching and learning of faith and to faith formation. Kathleen S. Turner shows how liturgical dance is religious education in two very important ways: first, by addressing the power and potential liturgical dance has in nourishing the faith life of Christian congregants through means that are both educative and reflective; and second, by giving examples of how liturgical dance can be implemented as a religious-education tool within the teaching life of the church.

Download or read book Dancing In The Spirit written by Karen M. Curry and published by . This book was released on 2004-09 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Irishman's Tribute to the Negro Leagues is the first in a trilogy of "Irishman's Tributes" by Thomas Porky McDonald. In it, the long ago world of Negro League Baseball is celebrated on factual, fictional and emotional platforms. Profiles of over fifty former Negro Leaguers pay homage to the wondrous game they played. Two handfuls of Tallman Tales, McDonald's unique short stories, use the days of all-black baseball as a backdrop for some heartfelt characters that desperately seek entrance to a legendary Era otherwise lost in time. Interspersed within the profiles and tales is a small collection of McDonald's trademark baseball poetry, pieces that will doubtless make you think, hopefully make you feel, and often entertain you. In attempting to re-create the feelings of joy and pride that all the participants in the Negro Leagues experienced, despite the constant travails they encountered in pursuit of their livelihood, McDonald, as the "Irishman", deftly doffs his cap in obvious appreciation for an enlightening time of dogged and determined magic. An Irishman's Tribute to the Negro Leagues precedes Over the Shoulder and Plant on One: An Irishman's Tribute to Willie Mays and Hit Sign, Win Suit: An Irishman's Tribute to Ebbets Field, two future volumes that celebrate McDonald's own childhood and the days of Major League baseball in Brooklyn, which, like the Negro Leagues, are long gone in a concrete sense, but not in a spiritual one.

Download or read book Dancing for an Audience of One written by Robin D. Harrison and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-02-09 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dancing for An Audience of One will give insight to the praise dance minister and those who aspire to dance for the Lord, a greater understanding of who and why we dance. This book will teach and instruct on the principles of who we dance for. The readers will get a better understanding of dancing for God and not for show. It is my conviction, and I hope that for many other praise dancers that this will be their conviction as well""that we are not entertainers, we are not performers, but we are dance ministers. We are here to reach souls for Christ through the ministry of dance! God is ultimately the reason why we dance, and when dancing for Him, we should come with reverence and humility knowing that He is to be lifted up and given the highest praise and worship during our ministering. It's easy to lose focus when the enemy makes light of who and why we dance. No, you are not dancing for Mom or Dad. No, you are not dancing for Ma-Ma or even Pop-pop. You are not dancing for the co-worker that you invited or even for the pastor. You are dancing for God, the One who gave his life for you on the cross. All others are what I call beneficiaries and supporters, which are needed. However, keep focus on dancing for God first. This book that you hold will reveal some things about the dance ministry that you may or may not have known, but after reading this book, you will be able to see some of the tricks that the enemy will play. You will have a better understanding of why you dance and who you are dancing for. You will learn a few things even about yourself as a dance minister that we all have encountered at dance practice or outside of dance practice. Knowing that our bodies are temples and are being used to speak to God and His people through movement is an awesome privilege. Dancing for God breaks strong-holds, lifts spirits, encourages, rebukes, discipline, touches a heart, and can make a difference between being lost and coming to the marvelous light. This book, although it was written with the dance minister in mind, reaches across ministries and can be helpful to any ministry within the church of Jesus Christ.
