[ENS] In response to a General Convention resolution calling on the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music to "implement a plan for liturgical renewal and enrichment of the common worship of this church," a November 9-13 conference in Minneapolis will take steps toward a process of data collection.

Using the theme, "In the voices of all God's children," the conference will train "liturgical animators" to gather data in dioceses and communities "to define the scope of the proposed renewal and enrichment of the common worship." The task of data collection will be conducted as an educational project, providing programs "to deepen liturgical understanding and enhance liturgical skills." It will also seek ways to "celebrate our multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, and multi-generational church, supporting the unity and continuity of The Book of Common Prayer."

The conference is supported by the Office of Liturgy and Music under the auspices of the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music, in conjunction with the Association of Diocesan Liturgy and Music Commissions.
