		<description><![CDATA[David Peterson writes in his wonderful book, Engaging with God:
Those who regularly measure the value of what takes place in church in terms of its impact on their own spiritual growth and development need to recover Paul’s perspective. (p221)
Peterson goes on to explain Paul&#8217;s perspective: the goal of a church meeting is not just teaching, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is a bizarre accident of history that &#8216;a capella&#8217; music means &#8216;played without instruments&#8217;. 
Actually &#8216;a capella&#8217; is Italian for &#8216;in the chapel style&#8217;&#8230; in other words, church music, sacred music. So how did we get to the point where &#8216;church music&#8217; and &#8216;without instruments&#8217; are synonymous?
It all began in the early church. While [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my last blog post I spoke about how deeply moved Augustine was by Christian worship in music. 
But we can also learn from Augustine that fine feelings are not all there is to acceptable worship. He writes in his Confessions (probably his most famous work): 
when it happens to me that the song moves [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[St Augustine is one of my favourite theologians of all times. He was a deep thinker, but more importantly he went deep in to scripture.
In one of his more famous works he tells about a really moving experience he had with church music – he wasn’t a Christian at the time, but hearing the songs [...]]]></description>

Also, at the KYCK conferences Garage Hymnal played at this month, we spanned the entire width of the stage – you couldn’t help but notice us. But surely having the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today at a church training day we spoke about receiving criticism. 
Now, I don&#8217;t enjoy criticism very much. I don&#8217;t think many people do. Many musicians I know are themselves highly self critical, so having somebody else tell you you&#8217;re rubbish can easily demolish your last remaining bit of confidence. 
I once didn&#8217;t talk to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to singing in church, it’s important that what we practise and how we practise is influenced by what the Bible has to say rather than copying or reacting against what other churches that we like or dislike are doing. So, here are some verses to consider.
1 Chronicles 13:8

		<description><![CDATA[My friend Craig has an interesting blog on what Anglican churches can learn from Pentecostal churches on music. 
It&#8217;s great to see an article on the Sydney Anglicans website humbly looking to learn from brothers and sisters in other church networks.
