Ten essays about what churches are doing that is not "business as usual" in their music ministry. Includes theological and liturgical rationale, basic "how-to" information, and personal testimony to the communal advantages of each ministry, as well as descriptions of alternative/additional worship services that are flourishing across the country. Includes material about contemporary ensembles, jazz, handbells, guitars, synthesizers, electronic music and the emerging church, organs and choirs, youth, amateur, professional instrumentalists, cantors, Taizé services, Compline, and the Hip Hop eMass.

 

John Bell is an ordained minister of the Church of Scotland and a member of the Iona Community. He enjoys an international reputation in many denominations and organizations, including the Hymn Society and Royal School of Church Music, as one dedicated to the renewal of congregational worship at the grassroots level.
