In commemoration of the Lutheran “Urkantor” Johann Walter (1496-1570) in April, web designer Vladimir Miroshnik made a template for the Church of Ingria’s website devoted to music https://music.elci.ru/ During May, the website will be filling with content.
Currently, we’re working on the Congregations section which will feature information about our church body’s congregational musicians, congregational musicians’ groups, music projects, and musical instruments, so that we may know more about each other.
As we commemorate Johann Walter, who was a close associate of Luther’s and helped him conduct the musical/liturgical reform, we pray for the development of the musical ministry in the ELCIR, for all congregational musicians and musicians’ groups, for the upcoming cantor course, and most importantly that music may help proclaim the Word and share the Good News of Jesus, our risen Savior!
