Toward Columbus: Liturgy and Music proposes new rites and prayers
By Mary Frances Schjonberg
[ENS] The Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music (SCLM) will present the 75th General Convention with a series of prayers and liturgies for life transitions, alternative rites for celebrating new ministries, and alternative burial rites.
The commission will ask the convention for permission and money to continue to develop resources for multi-sensory worship compatible with Anglican liturgy.

Revision of Lesser Feasts and Fasts proposed to continue until 2009
[ENS] The other major task facing the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music this triennium was the revision of "Lesser Feasts and Fasts" as asked for in Resolution 2003-A100 (www.episcopalarchives.org/cgi-bin/acts/acts_resolution.pl?resolution=2 003-A 100).
"Lesser Feasts and Fasts" is the calendar of saints that the church celebrates each year.
The 2003 resolution asked for a revision that reflects "our increasing awareness of the importance of the ministry of all the people of God and of the cultural diversity of The Episcopal Church, of the wider Anglican Communion, of our ecumenical partners, and of our lively experience of sainthood in local communities."
