About the Book

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.

About the Author :
Brian Schrag, PhD, serves as Senior Ethnomusicology and Arts Consultant with SIL Global, and Professor Emeritus at Dallas International University (DIU). He lived and worked in Central Africa, headed the integration of ethnoarts into SIL for thirteen years, and founded DIU's Center for Excellence in World Arts. Brian has Huntington's Disease, spurring him to create artistry and tools to encourage others also affected. More broadly, he promotes community-led, arts-energized activities resulting in more signs of the New Creation.

Review :
Creating Local Arts Together helped me tremendously in my ministry in Africa. This manual helped me guide Fulbe and Hausa people on how to redeem their indigenous musical instruments such as the googe (violin) and bamboo flute. I have equally used the CLAT Manual to facilitate the crafting of local hymns which helped to decolonize Fulbe and Hausa hymnodies. Christians have crafted and performed songs that were not only for worship but for peacebuilding, reconciliation, and Christian witness. As such, this volume is not a mere manual but an instrument of life transformation. -Daniel Dama, PhD, President and founder, Africa Sings Ministries for Peacebuilding and Christian Witness, Parakou, Benin Republic, West Africa In 2012 my wife and I found ourselves up in the mountains of northern Philippines conversing with the believers of a tribal group, introducing them to the possibility of using their indigenous musical forms and instruments in their worship. When they said yes to the idea, I began wondering, "How do I start the process?" Creating Local Arts Together is God's answer to that prayer. I am a musician with little training in ethnoarts, but this material empowers me to do the work of the Lord in ways that will be meaningful and productive. -Roy Fabella, Philippine Ethnoarts Community of Practice, Ministry director and missionary, Windsong Worxtations The Creating Local Arts Together (CLAT) model has been a great creative research tool for both our undergraduate and postgraduate students at All Nations Christian College in the UK. Students have been able to develop meaningful creative projects for a wide range of communities and differing contexts. In particular, through teaching and hosting the Arts for a Better Future course each summer, we have been able to adapt CLAT for use in intercultural churches and communities in the UK, which has helped foster culturally conscious worship, diversity of creative expression, and deeper unity within the church. -Dr. Jill Ford, Lecturer and Programme Leader for Arts, All Nations Christian College (UK)
