We hope that people in ministry will find the information helpful, and you are also welcome to use them to facilitate discussion by parish worship committees. Most of them are recorded in short segments to facilitate that. Think of them as conference papers coming to wherever you are. More speakers will be added in the future, so return to check in from time to time.
