This engaging panel brings together clergy and pastoral musicians across the United States to explore the real challenges, tensions, and differing perspectives that often arise in liturgical ministry. Through honest conversation, shared experience, and pastoral wisdom, panelists will reflect on how to build trust, communicate effectively, and cultivate mutual respect. Join us as we seek practical pathways toward genuine common ground—where ministry becomes partnership, and the liturgy becomes a place of deepened unity and shared mission for the People of God.
