While it is very important that liturgists and musicians attend a workshop like this, would it not perhaps be even more important for priests to be there? The buck really stops with them...
I will let you know how many priests I encounter there.
If my schedule allows, I hope to attend. Thanks for bringing this to my attention! It looks great.
Other Anon, you are right, though I can say, I think with some confidence, that in the Madison diocese (and probably all over America) most of the priests ordained in the past 10-12 years or so are already on board. These men are just starting to move into the real power positions (pastors, etc.) and I can't tell you how many times I have seen situations with a solid young pastor having to hit the ground running at a parish where an "old guard" of liturgies and musicians are used to doing things just a certain- "spirit of Vatican II"- way and it is these people who really needed to be targeted by the kinds of educational efforts as this.
Yes, this is very true. All of the priests being ordained (at least Madison) are very traditional, and are quite on board with everything. I know almost all of them, and I know this first hand.
