A pastor/teacher conference, “Treas-res New and Old: A Conference on Creative Excellence in Worship,” was held Jan. 23-25 in Atlanta, Ga. The conference focused on honoring tradition and exploring modern worship issues. “ ‘Treasures New and Old’ is the idea that Lutherans do worship a certain way for a reason—there’s theological rationale and depth behind why we do what we do,” says Bryan Gerlach, administrator for WELS Commission on Worship and a presenter at the conference. “We don’t have to throw away treasures from the past, but neither should we use those treasures in a dull and unimaginative way. To emphasize that in the keynotes and then talk about how to accomplish that in the workshops—that, in a nutshell, was the highlight of the conference. It was highly appreciated.”
