Creative writing
This area of the website is for those interested is in making creative use of the written word. There are inevitably areas that overlap, for example script-writing relates to drama, and hymn-writing relates to music. But creative writing is an art form in its own right whether the end products are liturgies, prayers, meditations, poems or stories. See also Hymns and songs in the Music area of the site.

Dance & drama
This area of our website explores how drama and dance can be used to express or explore Christian faith. It includes ideas which everyone can join in, such as role play; the contribution of drama and dance groups to the worship and mission of churches; and news of professional productions with faith as a central theme. It includes script writing and storytelling, but note that film comes under visual arts. Very often more than one art form is used at the same time (eg. music with dance and drama).

Music
For centuries, music has been an integral part of the worshipping life of most Christian denominations, not least the Methodist Church which was famously said to be 'born in song', and musicians usually have a crucial role in leading worship.

Visual arts
Visual arts include banners, worship displays, arts and crafts, textile art, painting and posters, sculpture, installations, worship centres, and flowers, as well as the whole area of film, photography and audio-visual displays. These can all be used to inform or shape your worship and prayer experience, from bible studies and meditations to discussion groups. Here we offer a growing resource of ideas, images, reviews, recommendations and more.
