From the Swede:
Among the want ads placed in a recent edition of the Concordia Seminary, Ft. Wayne daily newsletter (July 28 and a few other days) was the following:
--------------------------------------
LITURGICAL MUSIC COORDINATOR AT UNIVERSITY OF SAINT FRANCIS seeks applications for a part-time Liturgical Music Coordinator to work in collaboration with the Campus Ministry team to continue to grow a vibrant Music Ministry for the worshipping community at USF. The Music Coordinator will work 10 hours/week preparing music for the Sunday evening Eucharistic liturgy. Responsibilities will include selecting music, as well as preparing music ministers for the liturgy. The Music Coordinator will also be involved in the planning of music for Praise and Worship nights, two weekend retreats during the school year, Opening Convocation and Baccalaureate Mass. Individual must have knowledge of liturgical music and experience in a music ministry. To apply, send letter of interest, resume and three references to searchcommittee@....
-------------------------------------
Well, at least it's good to know our "confessional" seminary openly supports its students participating in and preparing the music for Roman Catholic masses. By the way, ads have also run to serve on the music staff of a local ELCA congregation, although I don't have a copy of that one.

GJ - LCMS and ELCA students have been crick-jumping for years. The lavender organist who killed a burned an old lady in Texas was LCMS/ELCA while working on a big Kieschnick shindig. The LCMS pastor promptly morphed into the ELCA Wheatridge Foundation director. Thank you: Cedric and Percy and Tangerine.
