It goes without saying that we, as pastoral musicians, have experienced a world of change in our ministries in the last year or so. The things that we never second-guessed, such as congregational singing, the incorporation of hymnals and choirs into our liturgies, became health risks. As we hopefully look towards a re-introduction of the elements that we so cherish in ministry, many of us are re-examining how we execute these elements. Do we continue to purchase hymnals in our parish, or do we look for something else? Do we embrace the technological use that many of us depended on during the last year?
SHOW NOTES
Bio: Kelly & Carly Barth
We started this venture as a way to self-publish Kelly’s compositions. When our composer friends found out what we were doing, many of them asked us to do the same for their music. What started as “I’ll just create a quick website and put my music out there” has grown to a comprehensive catalogue of beautiful liturgical music created by composers from all over the world.
The mission that has become Simply Liturgical Music is to reimagine the liturgical music industry through the use of digital technology. By doing so, we are connecting composers to congregations in a way that’s never been done before.
All of us at SLM continually pray for all who endeavor to richly bless liturgical worship through the gift of music. We ask that you pray for us as well!
Sincerely,
Kelly James & Carly Barth
