In our opening session for the conference we will engage in a stimulating time of worship from a variety of different cultural expressions.  The beauty of diversity in the Body of Christ will shine forth as worship leaders and different cultural backgrounds worship the Lord in song and dance. Our evening will culminate with a challenging message from Soong Chan-Rah. Come and partake of what we anticipate doing around the throne of God where people from all nations and tongues glorify God day and night.

Film Preview and Discussion
Dawn in the Darkness
Saturday, February 28, 2009
9 am.  Mayers Auditorium

This new film, Dawn in the Darkness focuses on the connection diversity and reconciliation has to our spirituality...a connection that has been lost or neglected. This film seeks to expose some of the obstacles in contemporary Christianity to seeing justice and reconciliation in the Scriptures and begins to build a more holistic paradigm from which we can glean direction and inspiration.

Taiko Fest
Saturday, February 28, 2009
7 pm.  Sutherland Auditorium

Kishin Daiko is a multi-ethnic, multi-generational Taiko group that exemplifies harmony with diversity in their member makeup, and also through the music they play.  Kishin Daiko’s music consists of traditional and adaptations of traditional Japanese Taiko pieces, along with original compositions by contemporary musicians, and Kishin Daiko members.

Although Kishin’s performances are usually focused in Southern California, they have had the opportunity to tour Japan to perform and study Taiko. Some of their performance highlights include: The Los Angeles Philharmonic’s 75th Anniversary at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion; The Word Cup Soccer Celebration at Universal Studios; The United nations’ Blue Sky Project at Paramount Studios; The Super Bowl XXXII Pre Game; and Michelle Kwan Day. Members of the group have performed at the 2008 Grammy’s, accompanying a performance with Kanye West.

As a family, Kishin Daiko devotes itself to sharing the Japanese culture and promoting community harmony through the group’s uniquely engaging and diverse expression of Taiko music.
