"What does lighting have to do with worship?
If your congregation is like many others, you've never given too much thought to that question. On these pages, a lighting professional, challenges churches to take another look at the lighting in their worship space. Although his observations are based on his experience in a setting quite different from those in most of our churches, his reflections may well encourage even
small churches to make some important changes.
■ Let there be light.
■ The Lord is my light and my salvation.
■ Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
■ Arise, shine, for your light has come.
■ I am the light of the world.
Scripture deploys light as a rich, complex metaphor. We study it, conceptualize it, and even theologize it, but when the time comes to physically use light in worship, most of us remain in the
dark.
Lighting (and sound): Just turn it on so we can see (and hear), right? Yes, but that's only a beginning.
Effective lighting for worship is governed by a number of objectives and criteria that can be applied to any size church with any size lighting system and any size lighting budget."
