In WikiWorship, lay folks create the sermon
Turning part of the message over to church members is the concept behind a new worship model called WikiWorship—wiki as in Wikipedia.
It was developed by Philip Chryst, pastor of a United Methodist mission in Wilmington, North Carolina, as part of an evangelism course he took at Duke Divinity School. He was using it as part of a Lenten worship series held at 9:45 a.m. each Sunday in a bar called Hell’s Kitchen.
The week before each WikiWorship, participants submit questions on religion, ethics, life, or God via the mission’s website. Then Chryst chooses one to spur discussion at each service.
