contemporary practices of christian worship
May 2nd, 2008
Dr Lim Swee Hong lectures at Trinity Theological College on Worship, Liturgy and Music. I attended his lectures on “Contemporary Practices of Christian Worship” and I found them excellent, relevant and very stimulating and mind-stretching. The course helps you grapple with the theology that should undergird all worship services. It also helped me to see what are essentials and what can be changed, and how it can be changed for the common good. The content was interesting and relevant enough for a good book. A smart publisher should follow up on this tip.
Dr Lim was jovial, expansive in his thinking, objective in his assessment of
the church worship scene, and he loved to “push the envelope”, push us to the edge, and move us outside our comfort zones. His way of teaching accomodated a lot of interaction and open-ended discussions and that was good as most of the students were experienced pastors from different countries(click pop-up on right). Dr Lim related superbly with us and everyone felt they could be themselves when they were with him. All this without sacrificing on content! It was time well spent filling up a missing gap for me for as a student in the 1980’s there were no worship courses. Those were done in denominational studies, and there were no such studies for Pentecostals. We pastors just have to be lifelong learners and practitioners.
Dr Lim is married to Maria Ling who was one year my junior in the college. Small world.

If you wish to make strong statements like these do try to back them up.
Swee Hong told me about this and I had to check out the latest altho I have visited your blog before. It was great to see Raphael and Michelle via the link on your blog.
SH does have the knack of making learning interesting, doesn’t he? I am glad you and your gang were in his glass. I think he was pleased to have seasoned pastors like you guys!
Welcome back to Singapore, Maria! Yes your hubby is a first rate teacher. I say this as an ex-teacher and teacher of the word. Your teacher-parents would rate his teaching highly too.
