Session Description
A caution about this topic is that it is not dealing specifically with church music. When we read the church fathers and they talk about music, the assumption is often made that they must be talking about church music. This is incorrect. They did not make the distinction between church music and music in the life of a Christian. It is in that context that this workshop is presented.
