A Must read for anyone in the music ministry their church!

Dr. Abbington has out done himself with this text in concerning the ministry of music. Anyone who is involved within the music ministry within their own church no matter if they are choir director, minister of music, choir member or congregation member who enjoys the music in the church needs to read this doctrine. Pastors should also put this on their literary menu. Dr. Abbington has a chapter that specifically discusses the relationship of the Minister of Music/Choir Director and the Pastor. He details the importance of the communication between the 2 individuals. To our advantage, a large contributor of information to Dr. Abbington for this chapter is from the late Reverend James Cleveland. Finally, I must include this. I've attended several music workshops involving Dr. Abbington in North Carolina. What I admire about him the most is that no matter how many initials he acquires behind his name (i.e. Ph.D, BA, BS, etc.), "he ain't forget where he done come from!" Warmest regards, J. Bush
