The National Pastoral Musician’s conference was last week in Indianpolis. A couple of reports, from slightly different perspectives,  have surfaced here and here.

From the former:

* Steven Warner’s opening address. Ok, much of it was good, but at one point he glorified the guitar Mass (enh…), talked about how we need a full implementation of Vatican II (yes…), and then turned and stated, “We do not need a reform of the reform!” (Applause ensued.) Whoa there, Wilbur! Many of us were feeling a mite uncomfortable, even unwelcome, after that – and this at a convention whose theme ostensibly was, “that all may be one”.
