Saturday 16th October 2010
Saturday 16th October 2010 “Make a Joyful Noise!” An
exciting day conference based in and around Manchester Cathedral, is to
take place on Saturday 16th October, from 9.30am – 4.15pm. It
will be entitled “Make a Joyful Noise!”, and it is essentially a
multi-choice workshop day, designed to encourage and equip anyone who wants to
see music flourish in their church worship, from whatever denomination. The aim
is to celebrate the rich diversity of music for worship that is available, old
and new, as well as exploring fresh approaches for mission in a changing and
challenging world. The
event will include John
Bell from the Iona Community, and well known as a speaker on ‘Thought for the
Day’; Geraldine Latty, well known gospel singer; Manchester’s very own
‘Wellspring’ will also be present and involved, as will Chris Stokes, the
Director of Music at Manchester Cathedral, Mat Hill from Audacious Church in
Manchester, Anne Harrison from the Diocese of Durham leading workshops on Taize
Music, and Andrew Maries, who is Worship and Music Consultant for the Diocese of
Exeter. Bishop Chris Edmondson will also be leading one of the workshops along
with Peter Gunstone, former Music and Worship Director at Lee Abbey, on the
sometimes tricky area of the relationships between clergy and organists/music
group leaders. The
conference is open to Clergy, Readers and Lay Preachers, Lay Leaders of Worship
including any ‘non musician’, and anyone who enjoys or who is involved in
music making. The
day is open to members of all churches, and suitable for young people, but under
16’s must be accompanied by a parent or authorized leader. It
is being organized by the Diocese of Manchester, in conjunction with the Royal
School of Church Music locally, and representatives of the Interdenominational
Music and Worship Foundation. Final details will be available after Easter,
including booking forms which will be available from Church House, at 90
