To mark the Official WA Birthd...Dean challenges 'trite music'
Dr Shepherd's latest Credo column in the UK's Times newspaper is attracting the usual range of strong opinions. The article, titled "Trite Music Blocks Our Ears to the Divine in the Liturgy", discusses the importance of quality music in church worship.
The Dean argues that "the Church should have no truck with banality" when it comes to music:
"Any work of art, be it sculpture, painting, literature, poetry or music, whose implications are immediately obvious and can instantly be grasped can never enlist our imagination, and so cannot equip us for mystery; and what cannot equip us for mystery cannot equip us for God," he writes.
