DESCRIPTION:Since the beginning of the Church\, music has profoundly shape
 d the patterns of Christian worship. As a powerful form capable of moving 
 hearts and directing desires\, Christians have often grappled with how to 
 integrate this complex and yet deeply essential form of praise. What is th
 e right balance between emotivity of musical expression and the rationalit
 y of the spoken word? Should the music of the church reflect cultural tren
 ds or have its own unique form and style? So often\, these questions come 
 into being in the working relationship of ministers who lead liturgy and t
 he musicians who support them. While there is real potential for partnersh
 ip between these roles\, musicians and clergy are often focused on the cri
 teria unique to their disciplines. This opens up the question: what is the
  right way to reconcile these equally important and yet sometimes contrast
 ing motivations? This conference offers a possible pathway by outlining a 
 historically and theologically rich vision of music and spirituality\, roo
 ted in both prayer and practice. Sessions will address the crucial role of
  musical theology in Christian worship\, the importance of prayer as a fou
 ndation\, and how these aspects might help guide the healthy mission of cl
 ergy and musicians. The day will include talks\, space for discussion and 
 connection with others\, times of prayer\, and\, of course\, transformativ
 e musical worship. Whether clergy\, musician\, or simply a layperson passi
 onate about the role of liturgical music in your parish\, we hope you will
  join us in discovering new ways of glorifying God in our parishes and Chr
 istian communities through music.\n\nFor more information\, visit hsl.chur
