About the book >.>.> This rather unexpected claim when many prefer to talk of managing decline appears in the opening pages of a book for those whose ministry is the leading of worship. Assist our Song is for those others whose ministry is leading and making the music in the local church but the remark is equally apt. For the music-makers this is also a time of renewal adjusting to fewer resources but seeking new strategies to meet greater opportunities. There can be bewilderment about the volume of new writing frequently found online and the need to navigate a good deal of hurt and resistance when changes are proposed. There is a revaluing of the traditional but some unease about how the old and the new may marry. The author of the book quoted observes that in a time of church renewal questions begin at a fairly superficial and manageable level and then almost imperceptibly each problem and question invites us deeper and deeper into the heart of the church where all roots are intertwined. The solution he suggested does not come from clever techniques and new pro- grammes; nothing less than Inversion and total commitment is required. (SP)
