Helena, I enjoyed reading about this and it sounds like you had a wonderful time. But I like to rock the boat a little (it's one of my ministries), so I'm going to ask what do you mean by this??...

Helena, You took the words right of my mouth! I'd almost finished a reply, left it whilst I was eating, came back, did a preview, and there yours was! As you'll see, I mention both Ps 51 and the Bi...

I've been booked to lead a messianic dance day for a church next month. It turns out I can't make it due to work commitments, and a couple of friends will be doing it for me. But I'm still involved...

And whilst I'm on a roll, people sometimes say that installing video projection, lighting, or a sound system in a church is "making a statement", normally in the context that it's a statement they don...

Helena, I am familiar with the concept and have seen it used at secular events, but haven't personally encountered it in worship. I'm not sure I'd find it helpful. I'm not a fan of pictorial bac...

Here are some books I can recommend in this area. I think I should point out that the authors come from a variety of backgrounds and this will affect their conclusions – for example a Christian wil...

I had a perfect example a few days ago of the problems caused by not planning. We had to do the same messianic dance twice in a row because we hadn't checked with the musicians what songs they were do...

Important point, Helena. I would say it definitely is needed. Many very serious problems (not just in dance ministry) have resulted from people not having any effective covering. (A group of "yes m...

Here's another one of my "evocative" comments :) The church has either changed the Jewish festivals beyond recognition, or has just ignored them completely. This, in my view, is a subtle form of ...

Helena, Being the questioning sort, I'm wondering exactly which feasts are you referring to. Presumably you mean Pesach, Shavuot, and Succot, but there's also Purim, Rosh Hashanah, Simchat Torah...

There's a term I sometimes use - "downstream pollution". I'm sure you get the idea. We need to be very careful about what we say (on any topic), especially if we are in a position of leadership. An...

As you know, I can never work out the best way to handle the money side of dance ministry, and this has come to a head once again. I've just been asked to provide a group of dancers for a forthcomi...

Can you make a connection between these two verses? Ps 30:11 You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy Psalm 100:2a Worship the Lord with gladness I...

OK, time's up :) The hebrew word translated "joy" in Ps 30:11 is simcha. The parallelism in this verse indicates that joy is synonymous with dancing. The word translated "gladness" in Ps 100:2...

No responses, maybe because the domain's been down. Shall I give the answer...
