As great jazz musicians demonstrate, improvisation requires attention to all the nuances of harmony and the ensemble. What sounds like &#8220;making it up as you go along&#8221; is actually the creative combination of inspiration and skills firmly grounded in the discipline and practice of their art.<\/p>\n<p>Conference lectures, workshops, and discussions gave tools to cope creatively with change and adjust to the needs of the congregation, weather as a pastor, musician, lay leader, or educator.<\/p>\n<p>During the conference, worship services modeled worship planning that integrates text, liturgy, and the arts. Focusing on Holy Week and Easter, the daily services provided an opportunity for conference participants to gather as a community for spiritual renewal.<\/p>\n<p>A special feature of the 2002 was a plenary session conducted by James P. Wind, who addressed the question &#8220;When I get home, what do I do with what I have learned?&#8221; Drawing upon his extensive experience as a trainer and educator with the Alban Institute, Wind helped channel the passion for growth and change into practical implementation that is sensitive and pastoral.<\/p>\n<h2>Worship Services<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Opening Worship: \u201cA Service of The Word for Lent\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>Monday, July 15, 2002<br \/>\nBoe Memorial Chapel<\/p>\n<p><strong>Evening Worship: \u201cRevelation of the Seven Trumpets\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\nMonday, July 15, 2002<br \/>\nBoe Memorial Chapel<\/p>\n<p><strong>Morning Worship: \u201cPalm Sunday \/ Sunday of the Passion\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>Tuesday, July 16, 2002<br \/>\nBoe Memorial Chapel<\/p>\n<p><strong>Evening Worship: \u201cCompline Service for Holy Week\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\nTuesday, July 16, 2002<br \/>\nBoe Memorial Chapel<\/p>\n<p><strong>Morning Worship: \u201cMaundy Thursday Part I\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>Wednesday, July 17, 2002<br \/>\nBoe Memorial Chapel<\/p>\n<p><strong>Evening Worship: \u201cMaundy Thursday Part II\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>Wednesday, July 17, 2002<br \/>\nBoe Memorial Chapel<\/p>\n<p><strong>Morning Worship: \u201cGood Friday\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>Thursday, July 18, 2002<br \/>\nBoe Memorial Chapel<\/p>\n<p><strong>Evening Worship: \u201cGreat Vigil of Easter\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>Thursday, July 18, 2002<br \/>\nBoe Memorial Chapel<\/p>\n<p><strong>Closing Worship: \u201cEaster Brunch and Post-Resurrection Celebration\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>Friday, July 19, 2002<br \/>\nStav Hall<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Improvisation: Departing from the Script, Holding Fast to Scripture The 2002 St. Olaf Conference on Worship, Theology, and the Arts presented nationally recognized ministers, musicians, scholars, and theologians who discussed [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":80,"featured_media":0,"parent":198,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-43","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/cwta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/43","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/cwta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/cwta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/cwta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/80"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/cwta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/cwta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/43\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/cwta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/cwta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
