Catholic Praise and Worship

Hello all!

I just listened to a pretty inspiring and informative radio show on Catholic praise and worship. I thought that you might be to enjoy it as well.

http://catholicrockers.blogspot.com/
(Listen to the show on Catholic Praise and Worship)

In our parish activity and CCM, we've seen strong attraction to praise and worship as a way for prayer as community. The speakers really bring up a lot of practical issues regarding distribution, theology, and practical matters regarding the writing process.

The big take away for me from this program is that we(as a church) need to write more Catholic praise and worship that falls in line with the fullness of truth of the church. The speaker strongly feels that incorporating more of our Catholic tradition into this song writing can really yield beautiful fruit that may bring about unity for all Christians.

Pretty cool stuff!!

I'd love to hear what you think as well..

NPM Conference Notes

All in all, it was an amazing experience meeting music ministers who have been working for years. The following notes only represent a small fraction of the wisdom and music guidance we received from the conference. I hope that we can use some of these ideas to help shape the organization of our music program. Please drop me an e-mail if anything in particular jumps out at you.
