Curation is a term usually used in the art world for the role of imagining and overseeing an exhibition or art experience. However the word is now being adopted by people in alternative worship, as it affords a very different and inventive way of thinking about how to lead a service or praise event. Rather than simply presiding over liturgy or fronting a band, curation involves negotiating between institutions and artists and making do with what is to hand to create something brilliant. The hope is that moments of epiphany will be experienced as God is invited to be and breathe in the space, and people make connections with their own lives and stories. Curating Worship is in two parts. The first considers the kind of thinking, skills and disciplines involved in good curation. The second consists of in depth interviews, which tease out from people who have curated amazing worship experiences around the world, the ideas and theories behind their approaches and the practical processes involved.

it bypasses the many difficulties that occur from the notion of “leading” worship. The culture of the “worship leader” pitches the lucky few to the front of the room in the starring role, either as Vicars or rock-star musicians, and the backlash against church hierarchies and worship superstars has created the fanciful idea that communities will coalesce without any leadership at all. “Curating”, which just as it sounds is drawn from the world of art, museum and exhibition, acknowledges creative leadership without making the curator the centre of attention.
These are the issues Jonny addresses here, and I like the way he does so, first by giving us a well thought out essay of his own, and then by giving attention through analysis and interview to a few of the practitioners of this mode of organisation and creative output.
the best bit of the book is the two short essays at the beginning, in which Jonny explains why engaging “hands on” in a created world is in itself a transformative experience that goes far beyond the intellectual exercise of reasoning out one’s belief. The imagination is engaged in a different way when your whole body is committed to the experience, which Jonny illustrates with accounts of his own visits to large-scale art installations and then translates into the world of spiritual transformation. I would buy this book for the opening two chapters alone. Oh yes, and the cover.
Hats off, Jonny, Lots of stars.
