Titled \u201cAll Creation Sings,\u201d the exhibit offers an interactive worship experience that is designed to \u201cenlighten\u201d guests by sharing the diversity, development and history of the practice of worship, according to museum staff.<\/p>\n<p>Garrett Hinton, chief revenue officer at the Museum of\u00a0the Bible, told Fox News Digital in an emailed statement that worship is more than just \u201cthe thing that we do at church on Sundays before the pastor gets up and gives the sermon.\u201d He said, \u201cAs the\u00a0Bible talks\u00a0about worship, it\u2019s so much more than that. So the story is the story of the Bible \u2014 and it\u2019s taking you from Creation or Genesis all the way to Revelation.\u201d The name of the experience comes from Psalm 148. \u201cAll Creation Sings\u201d takes\u00a0museum visitors\u00a0through four different parts, answering the question, \u201cWhat is worship?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first act begins by recounting the story\u00a0of creation. \u201cWorship is our purpose. That\u2019s what we\u2019re created for. So,\u00a0God created\u00a0us, and he created our universe. That\u2019s where it all starts,\u201d said Matthias Walther, chief marketing officer at the Museum of the Bible. He continued, \u201cAnd I think to discover this \u2014 to see the greatness of our Creation, the greatness of God\u2019s design in our existence \u2014 it takes you to a humble, really reflective place.\u201d Act two explores \u201cthe development of the art of worship and its expression through numerous media,\u201d according to the press release. The third act highlights the power of scripture, detailing how the\u00a0Bible shapes\u00a0lives and societies.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oPc8CR3X028?si=jjGKhDkAEHmwLr3Q\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Finally, the last act will help guests imagine \u201cthe future reality where all creation participates in joyful worship.\u201d The 6,500-square-foot exhibit uses innovative equipment such as\u00a0scanning technology, projectors and responsive software to help guests worship as never before, the museum says. \u201cThis virtual reality experience offers an exciting tour of some of the most famous biblical sites,\u201d the museum notes on its website.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis state-of-the-art attraction allows [visitors] to soar across the Sea of Galilee, climb the stairs to the Temple Mount, explore the path of the good Samaritan and visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre during midnight services.\u201d The museum partnered with CREATR, an on-demand class that gives users access to creative and worship voices in the church, educating them on worship, songwriting, creativity, leadership and more. \u201cThe idea of \u2018All Creation Sings\u2019 is that often people refer to worship as the 20-25 minutes of the songs being sung at Sunday service, but what we really wanted to do was open people\u2019s eyes to see that worship is far more than that,\u201d said Dylan Thomas, CREATR CEO and co-founder in a statement. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museumofthebible.org\/all-creation-sings?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=paidperformancemax&amp;utm_campaign=cqr&amp;utm_content=acs&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjw5Ky1BhAgEiwA5jGujqxKIHo14PN4BnyM353KiFncRlTZivONC1rqACzT1_g4RtEdkZR61hoCkPcQAvD_BwE\">For more information on the exhibit, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Museum of the Bible in the nation\u2019s capital recently opened a new exhibit that offers a dive into the past, present and future of worship.
