#185: An Exploration of NPM Cantor Certificates (with Gail Hartin)

Before we start our episode today, we want to take a moment and ask for your vote on the best of Ministry Monday episode in 2021. From Gregorian chant to live streaming, the Exsultet to the liturgical prayers, improvisation to the public domain and everything in between, it’s been a busy year for Ministry Monday. This year we produced 47 episodes of topics on music, ministry and liturgy, and we’d love to hear your feedback. What did you like the most in last year’s Ministry Monday programming?

Vote for your favorite 2021 topics and/or episodes from Ministry Monday here. Deadline to vote is January 24, 2022. We will feature the “best of” episode in Ministry Monday on January 31, 2022!

Today continues our series on continuing education. Gail Hartin, chair of the Cantor Certificate Committee, talks with us about the benefits of achieving each level of the Cantor Certificate process. Why is it important? Why should a cantor commit to a Cantor Certificate? This is a great episode to send to your cantors who are considering working towards a certificate in 2022!
