Equipping the Saints

Just one of the exciting workshops offered at the upcoming Equipping the Saints event:

Music in Reforned Worship
"What Pastors and Musicians
should know about each other
and are afraid to ask:
Moving beyond assumptions"

We will explore practices that in working effectively together
the pastor can help the musician think theologically  
and the music can help the pastor think musically
 to the benefit of the worshiping congregation

Presented by Alan Barthel and Ernest Gardner:

     Alan Barthel has been the Executive Director of PAM for the last ten years. Prior to that he was the St. Andrew Professor of Liturgy and Music at the University of Toronto. He is Past President of the North American Academy of Liturgy and currently secretary of the international liturgical society Societas Liturgica. For the PC(USA) he served on the Sacraments Committee and is an advisor to the committee working on the new hymnal.
     Ernest has been a minister member of PEVA since 2004. He first became aware of PAM as a graduate voice student at the University of North Texas while a member of Highland Park Presbyterian in Dallas, Texas. Since then he has been part of several conversations about what pastors and musicians should know about each other, but were afraid to ask ... until now.
