| Abstract |
Now you can enrich the music ministry of your congregation with this practical handbook. By pointing out the cultural changes that confront the church as we approach the end of the twentieth century, Orr shows how you can reform church music to meet the needs of the contemporary church. He investigates ways that the pastor and church musician can forge a working partnership so that worship can regain the spiritual authority needed for renewal in the church. |
