Episode 8 - Music in the Anglican Tradition

Music is important to almost everyone's life, and the Anglican tradition has given us a rich legacy of music. On Episode 8 of Canterbury Trails, our hosts, C. Jay Engel and Jared Lovell, are joined by guest Billy Jenkins to talk about music in the Anglican tradition. The discussion covers music from the English Reformation, English hymn writers, and ranges into a variety of subjects, including the purpose of sacred music in worship, contemporary Christian music (CCM), why men don't sing in church, English Christmas carols, and much more.

Billy Jenkins is a church musician, musical educator, and presbyter in the Reformed Episcopal Church (REC) diocese in the northeast and mid-Atlantic. Reverend Jenkins ministers at Faith Reformed Episcopal Church in Baltimore, where he serves as rector and church organist. Visit Faith REC at their website: https://www.faithrec.org/
