gcomm the proceedings

Welcome to GCoMM 2006, the second gathering for the Global Consultation on Music and Missions!
This event was held July 11-15, 2006 on the campus of Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Over forty presentations were shared during this five-day consultation.  Most of them are included in some form on this CD-ROM, along with additional materials from the plenary sessions and other contributors.

The presentations are arranged on the accompanying contents page in groups according to topical tracks, as presented. You can also access an alphabetical listing of the speakers by clicking on the
“cd folders a-z” link at the top of the contents page.

A complete set of audio recordings from GCoMM 2006 will be available soon on DVD.  Please check the GCoMM web site for more information (www.gcommhome.org). 

notes on media formats

All the necessary viewers & media players are available as free downloads.  You will find a link to the web sites for all the following products in the folder labeled “_file viewers.” 

Most of the documents included on this CD are in Adobe’s PDF format (portable document format), which will open in Adobe Reader.  There are a few select Microsoft Word documents (like this one) that have hyperlinks in them.  A number of the folders also contain Microsoft PowerPoint™ presentations.

You will also discover many audio files in mp3 format.  For Windows users, these files can be played with Windows Media Player.  Or if you prefer, you will find links for iTunes and Real Player included.  These media players will also play this CD-ROM’s movie files (in mpeg format).

notes on copyright issues

We are very grateful to all the contributors for sharing this material, and they maintain ownership. You have permission to play the media examples for non-profit meetings such as a school class or church meeting but nothing more without asking permission from the owner(s).

If you want to post materials found here at websites, print more than 5 copies for students, or circulate them in any other way (including digitally copying a file), you must contact the presenter for permission. If no contact information for them is given, you can write EthnoDoxology journal at ethnodox1@netscape.net and we will pass on your request to them. This holds true for all forms of media on the CD-ROM including text documents, photos, movies, and PowerPoint presentations.

The exception is that students writing research papers who need to quote short excerpts from a presentation may do so in the same way they would quote any written document (and it should be listed it in their bibliography). If a professor plans to make much use of the materials, we encourage each student to get their own copy of the CD-ROM.

To purchase additional copies of this CD-ROM send an e-mail to ethnodox1@netscape.net, or write
