    sorry for the lack of a helpful topic title (I HATE it when other people do that... :-P )

    I figured if you have enough time to click on that title, then you might find this worth your while...

    I just got an email from our diocesan worship person regarding music/liturgy for First Communion Masses, and at the bottom it said this:

    "Since our parishes use such a variety of hymnals, I do not have a list of music suggestions for Holy Communion. However, I do not recommend the theology found in "Take the Bread, Children" by Herbert Brokering (GIA). ".


    woot! finally! something remotely helpful from them!

    "Since the state of music organization in this diocese is a total disaster, I can not make any statements which will make sense. However, I do recommend some probably-heretical 'theology' from a Lutheran."

    Uh, yeah, I wouldn't recommend that theology either. It seems like there's a certain key concept missing....even for the Lutherans!

    Oh wow....
    I totally misread that.

    "I DO NOT recommend."

    Thank goodness.

    Personally, I'm shocked that GIA allowed anything to be printed with the word "thine" in it. A typical GIA lyric ought to read "Break the bread, children, break the bread, / For the breaking is the sign / All is mine and all is yours."
