Committee on Seminary and Denominational Relations:

This committee works to influence the music education of seminary students and collaborates with denominational governing bodies. Our goals are to raise the level of musical knowledge of seminary graduates and to improve clergy-musician relations in general. The committee promotes discussion of relevant topics and develops resources for musicians.

The Seminary and Denominational Relations Committee:

  • Maintains communications with seminary musicians, theological schools, and with denominations and their music organizations;

  • Produces and distributes syllabus suggestions for seminary courses in church music;

  • Participates in periodic consultations with representatives from various denominations;

  • Recommends candidates for appointment to the National Chaplaincy of the Guild.
