I suppose it’s an odd time to post this. But since the committee was able to meet today (Saturday – I guess that’s yesterday now) to make it’s decision, and since this text is so much what Easter is really about, and since I’m on a high after a fantastic Easter Vigil at the abbey… here we go. <\/em><\/p>\n

In the Saint John’s School of Theology this semester we had a student competition to create the best sacred text, to be given out to choral composers for a competition of the best choral setting of it. The selected text was to expresses<\/em>\u00a0– in an open, accessible way – what our liturgical tradition at its best means. Below is the winning entry. Christians will immediately pick up on the sacramental undertones which become quite eucharistic at the close.\u00a0 But it doesn’t preach at you.\u00a0Very much in the spirit of Pope Francis, it invites in all people of good will (probably including atheist journalists!).\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Compositional requirements, and directions for how to submit choral settings, will follow. For now, enjoy this sacred text. Happy Easter! – awr<\/em><\/p>\n
