“I would say that the Lutheran understanding of music is probably somewhat unique in terms of its ability to teach and its necessity in worship,” he said. “In the Anglican and Episcopal church, they have a lot of music, but it is for the choirs to sing for the people. Lutherans, I think, have a fairly good philosophy for the participation of the assembly, and we trace that back to [Martin] Luther and his reforms.”
