Dr. Arthur A. Just and I are very pleased to announce the program for the November 1–3, 2009 conference of The Good Shepherd Institute of Pastoral Theology and Sacred Music. The focus of this year’s Institute is Bach in Today’s Parish: Still the Evangelist.

Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the greatest treasures of and for the Lutheran Church. We wish this conference to be a practical application of this treasure of music as it relates to a host of topics—from bell choir repertoire to home devotions, from lectionary to children’s choir with flute, etc.

The sad reality is that Bach’s music is not the norm in today’s Lutheran parish. But rather than focusing on why such neglect is the case, we will instead hold high Bach’s timeless musical proclamation and then provide ways to make this treasure alive yet again, even today in our homes, schools, and churches.

So we hope to welcome you to a Fort Wayne Bachfest in November. However, this Bachfest will not just be listening, but it will be one that you can take home.
