Testimonials

We are delighted to have the help of the Music, Liturgy, and the Arts in planning our daily worship for our intensive Doctor of Ministry sessions in January and June. Our liturgies during these sessions of our ecumenical doctoral program are drawn from a variety of Christian denominations in addition to the Episcopal tradition, following a lectionary that focuses on Biblical texts emphasized in the doctoral program's course of study. It is no easy matter to plan a sequence of liturgies that provide both constancy and variety, an honoring of both the dominant tradition and the traditions of other traditions represented in the learning community. The CLM has helped us succeed in striking the balance—and has been a tremendous resource in planning music for liturgies, seeking creative liturgies, and working with chapel teams and musicians to offer prayerful and joyful worship.

- The Rev. Dr. David T. Gortner, Associate Dean of Church and Community Engagement, Director of the Doctor of Ministry Program and Professor of Evangelism and Congregational Leadership at Virginia Theological Seminary
