A Word of Welcome and a Brief History
It is an honor and a privilege to welcome as our guests the esteemed faculty and participants of this year's Mississippi Conference on Church Music and Liturgy. The Conference was started in 1975 by Leslie N. Casaday, who served as Principal Parish Musician at St. Philip's Episcopal Church in Jackson, Mississippi. Begun as a weekend workshop for the St. Philip's Choir, the Mississippi Conference has, for forty-nine years, provided for the Church's musicians and clergy from all over the country a time away for spiritual renewal and professional development. For one week every summer they gather with a faculty made up of some of the finest theologians and musicians in the Episcopal Church to sing, to learn, to be challenged, and to be fed.
