PassionateAbout Music There is nothing that stirs the emotions of Episcopalians like music. We may be moved by the singing of a familiar hymn or a well-known anthem, but many of us are likely to express our disappointment or even anger if a different style of music is incorporated into the liturgy. The introduction of a different musical setting of the Eucharist can be met with disapproval or even resistance . In recognizing the importance of music in our worship, this magazine has published special Music Issues each year which explore different aspects of church music . In this Spring Music Issue, one author exam­ ines what young Episcopalians seem to be looking for in liturgical music, while another writes about "converging" ancient and modem music in congregational worship. There are also reviews of recently released CDs and books and appropriate advertisements concerning music. We recognize that no particular style of music should be recom­ mended for the church. Contemporary "praise songs" are likely to be most appropriate for a congregation whose members have been involved in renewal ministries, while traditional hymns may be most suitable for others. Some congregations are most comfortable with music that reflects their ethnic heritage . Regardless of the style of music, it is a topic that is certain to evoke strong opinions by members of The Episcopal Church . We hope this special issue will be a resource to those who are interested in good church music in all its varieties.

UnderstandablyConfused If you are confused by some of the recent developments in The Epis­ copal Church, you're not alone. Many people have written or telephoned THELMNG CHURCH to inquire about the meaning of various events , and we would presume other media outlets and church leaders also are field­ ing questions. Much of the confusion stems from the fact that we are witnessing unprecedented events in The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Com­ munion. The departure of the Diocese of San Joaquin and its aftermath , and the deposition of bishops John-David Schofield and William Cox by the House of Bishops are recent examples of major news developments in which not all is clear. Internationally , such occurrences as the publi­ cation of another version of a proposed Anglican Covenant and the announcement of various happenings related to the Lambeth Conference have raised more questions than they have answered . In events like these, the church's constitution and canons often are used to try to set­ tle disagreements. But when even attorneys and canon law experts are unable to agree on their interpretations, we become puzzled. We sympathize with those who are perplexed by events taking place in the church. We long for the days when the church carried out its mission and its business more routinely, and when canons stayed on a shelf or in a drawer , consulted only rarely. In the meantime, we urge people of faith to concentrate on the development of their spiritual lives in the knowl­ edge that in good time all will be clarified.
