Today starts a two-part series on Ministry Monday about the public domain. Navigating the public domain online can be intimidating. The websites that house free music and scores are so vast that you might not even feel the motivation to sift through what’s there to find a resource. But let’s be honest…many of us have music budgets that are now drastically reduced, if not eliminated, due to the financial strain of COVID-19 on our churches. If there was ever a time to learn how to harness the power of the public domain, this is it.

Ministry Monday's most popular interview of 2020 was in the height of a country groaning in grief at the loss of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Brianna Taylor, just to name a few. Fr. Joseph Brown, Plenum Address speaker at the 2020 National Convention, sat with our listeners and Fr. Brown begins the conversation by reflecting on the uprising across the country- and the world- to support the Black community and take action towards anti-racist policies and real social change. And today, serendipitously on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, as we replay this episode, we are still listening, and we are still learning.
