April 16-20

Western Theological Seminary welcomes John Bell to lead this year’s “Doxophilia” – a week-long exploration of worship and worship renewal.

John will be leading chapel for the seminary community each day from 9:40-10:00. The public is welcome to join us in Mulder Chapel.

On Tuesday evening at 7 PM, also in Mulder Chapel, the public is invited to a participate in a “Big Sing” led by John Bell entitled “Musical Medicine.” A Big Sing is a unique celebration of congregational song. No talent is required, though throughout the experience John will empower participants to sing in harmony, including singing many previously unknown songs from around the world.

John Bell is a noted preacher, hymnwriter, composer, and worship enlivener. He is an ordained minister in the Church of Scotland, a member of the Iona Community, and one of the founders of Wild Goose Resource Group.
