The annual Living Worship course aims to demonstrate the meaningful use of music in worship, by helping musicians to see their role as being wider than just playing an instrument or singing in a choir. Now in its 8th year, Living Worship has something to offer everyone who has an interest or involvement in the music of worship – musicians, singers, those with pastoral responsibility (not only clergy) and those who sit in the pews, Sunday by Sunday.There are just two sessions this year which participants will certainly enjoy, will find stimulating and where they will meet an interesting group of people.
12 January: The Revd Dr Stanley Monkhouse, rector of the Port Laoise group of parishes, is a priest–musician and a former lecturer at medical school. His wide experience makes him well–placed to review the role of the church musician. Dr Monkhouse’s talk will be constructive, informative, amusing and at times, perhaps, a little irreverent!
19 January: The Revd Dr Peter Thompson, rector of the Donaghmore group of parishes, Succentor at St Patrick’s Cathedral, Armagh, and Secretary to the Hymnal Committee, will talk about the contents of the forthcoming supplement to Church Hymnal and how the Committee has gone about its work. He then will give some practical advice as to how how clergy and musicians should approach the task of selecting music for Church of Ireland services.
Course fee for the two sessions: €25. Book and pay online via the website here or call David on 087 668 3998.
