it has never been easier to create and share stuff! digital technologies have revolutionised publishing. there's simply no excuse - if you want to publish a book, a photo, a print, a music track, a movie, a recipe, a stream of consciousness the tools are there...
click on the create category if you want to follow stuff that i create and stuff that i help others create. what follows is a sort of summary page/catch all of some of the things that are out there that i have been involved in creating online. it's a useful reference for me and hopefully you'll find something of interest.
proost
proost is a small company i am a partner in that is an outlet for creativity. we originally set it up top publish our own stuff but made a shift to try and make it an outlet to gather and encourage other peoples artistic talents in the alt worship and emerging church world producing inspiring resources that fuel faith.
music proost started as a music label and over the years i have recorded several albums all with jon birch - whose earth | year of the jubilee | grace | eucharist | labyrinth | old hymns in dub | backbone | spirit of the new. they are mostly available through the audio section of proost.
photos
see the photo page
art
being involved in grace is a creative experience that has got me into installation art. i have exhibited a couple of times outside of grace - in australia as part of the adelaide fringe with landscape of desire and red tape at a cms launch
audio
there's a few interviews with me - imagination creativity and mission | worship podcast | interview with al roxburgh | conversation with yemi on postmodern and african worldviews | nomad interview
writing
i have published a few books or chapters in books and loads of articles and some interviews with me. i can't actually remember all the articles but these are some i have tracked down. a lot of my writing is also on the blog of course...
books:
the latest book is curating worship, a collection of interviews with people who create amazing worship experiences. i write a couple of intro chapters
alternative worship which i co-authored with doug gay and jenny brown put the accompanying CD ROM together. this is a collection of liturgical resources from alternative worship groups with a CD ROM of tunes, video loops and so on
grace pocket liturgies - a collection of liturgies from the last few years of grace. i edited the book, published through proost as part of a series.
the labyrinth: a transforming ritual - a book that is the full text of my MA dissertation
a chapter in mass culture called rhythm of the masses which looks at communion in alternative worship communities and its engagement with postmodern cultures
a chapter in the rite stuff, a book on ritual in postmodern times. my chapter is a summary of my MA dissertation which looked at the labyrinth we created at st paul cathedral as an example of how ritual is a strategic practice in postmodern times.
