It's not a new idea [even if the author may think it is] but it is worthwhile noting this discussion starter article on 'church as art collective'. There's a lot to commend the model which was much vaunted in AltWorship circles in the late 1990's. The downside of the model is the high degree of time commitment it requires, a factor which led me to develop worship in a more at-the-time participatory direction in Chaplaincy [our community didn't have the time or resources to be a kind of art collective]; that is the service itself is maximally participatory in a multi-sensory, multiple intelligence sort of way.
