WORKSHOP


This workshop explores critical dimensions of music in intercultural worship: What does it sound like? Who is leading it? How is it prepared? How is it evaluated? Grounded in pastoral practice in a range of communities in the United States as well as in guiding documents on multicultural worship, Tony Alonso discusses how far we have come and how far we must go to embrace the rich diversity of the contemporary landscape in our sung prayer.
