Creating Local Arts Together - Revised and Updated: A Manual To Help Communities Reach Their Kingdom Goals

Cultivating Creativity for Kingdom Flourishing
Creating Local Arts Together is a manual that offers a transformative approach to integrating local arts with kingdom work. The practical text reduces experience-based scholarly insights into a flexible seven-step process. The purpose of this manual is to guide your involvement in working toward a new reality, one in which all communities are using all their gifts to worship, obey, and enjoy God.
In this revised edition, Brian Schrag has incorporated user feedback, lessons learned, and additional real-life stories of these principles over the last decade. This book includes an added index; periodic reflection questions; case studies from people applying CLAT in various contexts; updated references; and more content devoted to multicultural contexts. Drawing on historically robust discoveries and methods of academic disciplines--ethnomusicology, folklore, performance studies, anthropology, biblical studies, missiology, and ethnodoxology--Creating Local Arts Together teaches about artistic communication within communities, whether cultures close to home or far afield.
