The Episcopal Diocese of Bethlehem

Ministries and Resources 

Liturgy and Music Commission


The Commission on Liturgy and Music was formed to assist the Bishop in his ministry as chief liturgical officer of the Diocese.

The commission designs diocesan worship events, and provides a ministry of assistance and advice for parishes, clergy and musicians in planning worship. One of the tools that assists in this support is the publication of Jubilate, a music and liturgy newsletter which is sent to over 300 persons in the diocese and throughout the Episcopal Church.

The Commission seeks to support those who plan and lead worship in parishes by providing education and resources as needed and requested. Now also focusing on the needs of small parishes, the commission continues to offer formal training to prepare local musicians as leaders in parish music.

The Rev. Howard Stringfellow  chairs the commission. Other members are 

The Rev. Canon Clifford B. Carr
The Rev. George Loeffler
The Rev. Canon Anne Kitch 
The Rev. Edward Erb
The Rev. Terrence Wible
The Rev. Hillary Raining
