Martin Marty, Anton Armstrong among speakers at worship and theology conference

July 15, 2002

In a fast-moving world, the art of improvisation -- letting go of the outcome, keeping faith, thinking on one's feet -- is becoming an essential skill. It's also the theme for this year's Worship, Theology and the Arts conference at St. Olaf College, called "Improvisation: Departing from the Script, Holding Fast to Scripture." The annual conference, to be held July 15-19, will include a keynote address by Dr. Martin E. Marty, a noted author, scholar and professor emeritus at the University of Chicago, as well as workshops by St. Olaf Choir Director Anton Armstrong and others on how to meld improvisation with various aspects of the worship service. For more information, call the college's conferences and events office: (507) 646-3043. Or visit the conference web site at www.stolaf.edu/services/conferences/worship.
