Keynoter:

Michael Bausch teaches the use of the arts and multimedia in worship based on many years of UCC parish
ministry experience. He teaches in the D.Min. and M.Div. programs at the University
of Dubuque Theological Seminary as adjunct faculty, and is also adjunct faculty at Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California where he has taught summer sessions and online courses. He is currently minister at Summit Congregational UCC of Dubuque, Iowa, and a lecturer in Hebrew Scriptures at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, where he makes his residence.

The Alban Institute published his Silver Screen, Sacred Story: Using Multimedia in Worship to tell the story of
developing congregational acceptance for using visual arts in worship, and how to train teams of laity to create and use visual media technologies in worship.
