VOICE From Co-Director Richard

oon after the announcement of this year’s topic for the thirteenth annual Good Shepherd Institute conference, Dr. Just and I realized that “Shepherd of Tender Youth: Connecting Postmoderns to Christ” hit a nerve. We believe that this conference will be a gathering of pastors, church musicians, elders, interested laity, youth leaders, and youth—all wrestling with the complex questions we face in a challenging time for and with our youth. In fact, this year we decided not to have sectionals or break-out sections, so that all could hear every word from what we believe is an outstanding list of plenary speakers.

Here is some additional conference information not in the GSI brochure: The Sunday afternoon organ recital, by the amazing young performer, Stephen Buzard, will include “Sonata on the 94th Psalm,” by Julius Reubke. All Saints’ Choral Vespers will include: ✠ “I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes Unto the Hills,” from Herbert Howells’s “Requiem” ✠ J. S. Bach’s funeral motet (BWV 118) “Lord Jesus Christ, My Light and Life” ✠ Three movements from Heinrich Schütz’s Musicalische Exequien ✠ “Oh, How Blest Are They,” by Theodore Beck ✠ “Lord, Now Let Your Servant Depart in Peace,” Luther’s hymn set by Donald Busarow ✠ The tenor soloist for this service will be Jonathan Busarow (grandson of Donald). A large portion of the service will be accompanied by strings and brass from the Fort Wayne Philharmonic. Monday’s Hymn Festival will be a part of the on-going “pull out all the stops” celebration at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in her 175th anniversary year. Without a doubt, this will be a memorable evening, in a stunningly beautiful historic sanctuary, led by Kantor Hildebrand, two choirs, and a professional brass ensemble. The whole Hymn Festival will be recorded for future release from The Good Shepherd Institute. But there is nothing like being there! continued on next page
