    ADAM:

    What I THINK might be helpful is a publishing and marketing cooperative, built to design, publish, package, and market Sacred Music resources in a way that people not currently using those resources, or not quite as online/free-resouirce/PD/CC-savvy, can get access to them.

    Primary Goal:
    Get more people singing better music.

    Secondary Goal:
    Provide an opportunity for composers, arrangers, transcriptionists, engravers, and Sacred Musicians to promote their work and maybe make a little income.

    That's my opinion.
    (And something I would like to be involved in).


    NOEL:
    This needs further discussion. People need to have a reason to write music. We desperately need a "store", a blog, a promoter.

    I have a reason to write music: because it's impossible not to write music.

    The CMAA seems like a good place to begin for such initiative(s).

    It is, but after awhile we are preaching to the choir! It's a really good choir, but evangelization is needed. Guy Kawasaki is a master of that (apple) and he even attended christian evangelism training conferences to learn how to do it.

    Use a missallette format and embrace some of the current popular congregational repertoire.
