The STUMP as it is affectionately called is now Sydney's own Christian Music Festival. After a long history out near the Gong we are now blessed to have the event in Sydney.
Featuring a stellar line up of artists both local and international, this is an event you do not want to miss. Starting today and finishing on the 6th of October there is something at the STUMP for everyone:
re:music
STUMP 08 is a mix of the usual suspects and fresh new stuff. We have been able to pull together an amazing list of Australian and International performers and of course we cover the range to suit your appetite. Whatever you’re into: rock, alternative, blues, jazz, urban, folk, metal... you can feast at STUMP.
re:arts
If power chords just aren’t your thing and the complex melody of free form jazz leaves you feeling just a little bit dizzy...maybe the visual banquet is your table: dance, drama, comedy, poetry, story telling, painters, sculptors and circus performers...STUMP 08 brings together the best of this country’s Artists. They’re funny, they’re kooky, they’re challenging, they’re deep, they’re confronting, they’re unpredictable; they’re truth tellers (mostly).
AND... it ain’t STUMP without the (almost) WORLD famous STUMP COMEDY DEBATE and the MUSICAL CHALLEN GE.
re:teaching
Critical to the DNA of STUMP is that we gather from different communities and traditions glued together by the Grace of God and His call to make a difference for good. STUMP provides a range of bible studies, worship options and over 60 workshops on all kinds of issues that matter – from practising ancient spiritual disciplines, self care and healing, overseas and urban mission and radical discipleship. WANT MORE ? You got it! The wider music and arts program will leak into the workshops via a bunch of practical ‘how to’ sessions to inform, equip and inspire you in your craft.
