Music does not make itself. It is made by people: professionals and
amateurs, singers and instrumentalists, composers and publishers,
performers and audiences, entrepreneurs and consumers. In turn,
making music shapes those who make it-spiritually, emotionally,
physically, mentally, socially, politically, economically-for good
or ill, harming and healing. This volume considers the social
practice of music from a Christian point of view. Using a variety
of methodological perspectives, the essays explore the ethical and
doctrinal implications of music-making. The reflections are grouped
according to the traditional threefold ministry of Christ: prophet,
priest, and shepherd: the prophetic role of music, as a means of
articulating protest against injustice, offering consolation, and
embodying a harmonious order; the pastoral role of music: creating
and sustaining community, building peace, fostering harmony with
the whole of creation; and the priestly role of music: in service
of reconciliation and restoration, for individuals and communities,
offering prayers of praise and intercession to God. Using music in
priestly, prophetic, and pastoral ways, Christians pray for and
rehearse the coming of God's kingdom-whether in formal worship,
social protest, concert performance, interfaith sharing, or
peacebuilding. Whereas temperance was of prime importance in
relation to the ethics of music from antiquity to the early modern
period, justice has become central to contemporary debates. This
book seeks to contribute to those debates by means of Christian
theological reflection on a wide range of musics: including
monastic chant, death metal, protest songs, psalms and worship
music, punk rock, musical drama, interfaith choral singing, Sting,
and Daft Punk.

Join Jamie, the son of a travelling droll teller, as he journeys
across Cornwall, a land steeped in myth and legend. Along the way
you will hear mysterious and exciting tales like what happened when
Bodrugan took his soldiers to capture Richard Edgcumbe, why the
ghost of Lady Emma was never seen again, what proper job King
Arthur gave the Giant and how St Piran came to settle in Cornwall.
These stories – specially chosen to be enjoyed by 7- to
11-year-old readers – sparkle with magic and explode with
adventure. As old as the moors and as wild as the sea, they have
been freshly re-told for today’s readers by storyteller Mike
O’Connor.
The book is a contemporary compilation of important research in the
area of microfinance and financial inclusion. It explores a
plurality of views and experiences from different parts of the
world while linking a variety of international research
backgrounds. Accordingly the book will fill a gap in providing a
carefully curated cross-sectorial selection of topics relevant to
the development finance research community primarily but also
industry practitioners who are interested in keeping abreast of
developing research. Benefits in this regard also include being
able to provide a platform to less established researchers offering
them a voice in published form.
