Better Get It In Your Soul

Canterbury House, The Episcopal Student Center at the University of Michigan, played an integral role in my development while at Michigan, and has supported me financially in my Nicaraguan Adventure. It's an unusual place---where modern jazz and world music are blended with ancient chants and liturgy---which, in combination, have the tendency to leave one breathless and rejuvenated at the same time.

Now, my priest and music director from Canterbury House, Reid Hamilton and Steve Rush, have 'written the book' on incorporating Jazz and other groovy music into modern Liturgy. It will be published and available in September. Better Get It In Your Soul has received endorsements from a number of musicians, liturgists, and theologians, including Ornette Coleman, Sue Mingus, Don Saliers, and Tilden Edwards. Do be sure to check it out!
