Chapel Arts Interns Named
The Fuller Seminary Chapel Arts Interns have been chosen for
the 2007-2008 school year. This is an
exciting new program sponsored by the Brehm Center
for Worship, Theology, and the Arts. Ed
Willmington, the Director of the Fred Bock Institute of Music, will serve as
the immediate supervisor of these interns.
The six were chosen from a group of thirteen applicants. Each one is a graduate student with a
Worship, Theology, and Arts focus of their studies. Their post-Fuller goals include leading
worship ministries in churches to guiding a college or seminary chapel
program. The internship is designed to
provide experiences in leading the Fuller Chapel services, while having
mentoring and exposure to new resources and thinking regarding worship ministry
leadership alongside their experience.
Please pray for these gifted people who are a part of this strategic new
program!

National Seminary Chapel Meeting
Ed Willmington participated in a day-long meeting hosted by
Todd Johnson, the Brehm Chair for Worship, Theology, and the Arts, and Ron
Rienstra, a Fuller Ph.D. student. The
meeting was an important gathering of people who administer chapel programs in
seminaries around the U.S and Canada. This initial meeting was co-sponsored by the Brehm Center
for Worship, Theology, and the Arts and the Calvin Institute for Christian
Worship, and was held on the Fuller campus.
With representatives from a wide range of seminaries, such as Yale,
Calvin, Southern Baptist, and Denver
seminaries, the meeting served as an insightful first step toward networking
resources related to modeling chapel experiences in a variety of seminary
settings. Seminary chapels provide an
important model, as well as a spiritually formative aspect of seminary life and
training.

Unique Resource Online
At the annual meeting of the Hymn Society of the U.S. and Canada, I reconnected with a good
friend, Ken Bible. Yes, that's his real
and given name - BIBLE! Ken has a wealth
of experience and background in Christian music and publishing. He also has a wonderful resource that I'd
like to share with you. Ken is not only
a musician, but also a thoughtful writer of lyrics for new hymns and
songs. If you're looking for something
new for a special theme or season of the year, Ken has something for you -
whether it's Mother's Day or Epiphany!
If your church belongs to the CCLI licensing program, the use of Ken
materials is absolutely free! You only
need to report your use of his lyrics - that's a good deal, too! I'd encourage to look at Ken's resources at:
