Hi there members, I have just joined your group, at the suggestion of
Godelieve, because I thought you might be interested in my research on
spirituality and music within the church setting.

I am currently studying a Masters degree at UNSW and my research topic
is an attempt to understand more about what people mean when they
describe a musical experience as 'spiritual' or 'transcendent'. I
think we have all had these experiences where the music seems to take
over, and we are moved powerfully, and yet an explanation for such an
experience seems ever so ellusive.

This is why I am studying this topic and this is why I would like to
invite you to help me do just that by filling in a questionnaire. I
would love to include anyone who has had strong experiences of music
in the church. Furthermore, by participating you can help clarify some
of the wooly thinking about music that we see so often around us.

If you would like to help me out, please email me and I will send you
the electronic version of my questionnaire. You can simply complete it
and email it back to me.

Thank you for allowing me to submit this topic and do engage with me
on this topic if you like - I find everyone has something to teach me.

Regards

Peter
