June 2, 2003 by Aristotle A. Esguerra1 comment.

Someone has just accepted my position—he will be starting on the first of next month. He’s an evangelical Christian who will be thrust into liturgical worship, and I have a lot of hope for him precisely because he’s an “outsider” to a lot of the musical “worship wars”, etc.
I’m supposed to be meeting him sometime [...]
