The Song of the Church for the Life of the World: Congregational Music as TheologyJuly 6-11, 2008
The Song of the Church for the Life of the World:
Congregational Music as Theology
Keynote: Dr. Don E. Saliers
Music Director: Mark Mummert


All of our ecclesial communities employ music in worship. Each has its own tradition of church music, from settings of the Catholic liturgy to the Methodist hymns and the gospel choirs of the black church. How can the song of the church better support and express the church’s praise of God, its God-given unity, and its mission of service to God’s world?

Through lectures, hands on classes, singing, and communal prayer, an ecumenical faculty of theologians, pastors, and musicians from across the country will guide participants in exploring the theological foundations and pastoral challenges of congregational music today.
