ISM Welcomes Visiting Faculty

The Institute and Yale Divinity School are pleased to welcome two distinguishedvisiting professors to teach liturgics in North American Protestant traditions.Between the two of them, they have produced an astonishing array of substantialwritings on the subject. They have contributed immensely to the practice of worship,not only in the liturgical traditions they represent, but in broader spheres as well.

– Margot E. Fassler, Director

HORACE T. ALLEN visits Yale from Boston University, wherehe is Professor of Worship in the School of Theology. He has

served in this position forover twenty years.

Professor Allen (picturedat left) is a minister of Word

and Sacrament of the Presbyterian church (USA) and a memberof its Eastern Korean (Hanmi) Presbytery. He has representedhis church for several decades in the Worship Commission ofthe Consultation on Church Union, the Consultation on Com-mon Texts and the English Language Liturgical Consultation. Inthis capacity he has guided the development of the Revised Com-mon Lectionary as published by the Consultation and now inused throughout the English-speaking world. For five years hewas Director of Worship and Music for the Presbyterian Churchand prior to that he was Warden of the historic Iona Abbey inScotland as a member of the Iona Community.

He has had pastoral experience in West Virginia, Towson,Maryland, New York City, Scotland and England, as well asin Brookline, Massachusetts where he now resides.

estant and Catholic. Much attention has been directed to li-turgical architecture (on which he has written three books),sacramental theology (two books), and liturgy and justice(many articles). As a historian, he is particularly interested inthe diverse ways in which individuals have shaped Christianworship as compared to the general anonymity of much ofliturgical history. He is currently working on a collection ofbiographies of individuals who shaped worship in North

America in the past twocenturies. He has a directinterest in the subject,since he knew and workedwith so many individualswho formulated liturgicalrevision after Vatican II.He himself was the princi-pal writer of the UnitedMethodist eucharistic rite.

Professor White (pic-tured at left) has publishednineteen books of whichten are currently in printin English. He finds it ex-citing that several havebeen translated into such

languages as Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, andare now shaping the worship life of younger churches of theworld. He has published chapters in forty-two other booksand written about 125 articles.

“I have lived,” he says, “through the most momentouschanges in worship since the Reformation, and it has been mygreatest joy to work with so many others in effecting thechanges of the late twentieth century. Now I take great pridein my collection of books by my former students, who can goplaces of which I never dreamed.”

An American (or Two) In China

In July, Patrick Quigley and I participatedin a truly outstanding experience— mu-sical, educational, and cultural—whenwe were invited to participate in an an-nual program led by Dr. Donald Portnoyof the University of South Carolina andthe Augusta (GA) Symphony. We wereamong a group of ten American studentconductors who traveled to China toconduct orchestras in the cities of Beijingand Xi’an.

In Beijing, we worked with membersof the National Opera Orchestra of Chinaand singers to prepare and perform con-cert versions of Mozart’s The Marriageof Figaro and The Magic Flute. The play-ers and singers were among the finestmusicians with whom we had everworked, and our audiences were so veryenthusiastic and appreciative. At theclose of our final concert in Beijing, anAmerican businessman introduced him-self to us. He turned out to be a Yale

graduate who had formerly taught atPrinceton before coming to China workwith a water-systems company. He toldall of the conductors how important ourpresence in China was for relations be-tween our two countries, especially inthe light of recent tumultuous events.

We then traveled to Xi’an to workwith the Xi’an Symphony Orchestra,which is the orchestra of the Conserva-tory of Music in Xi’an, composed of bothstudents and their teachers. We workedwith the orchestra six hours daily in re-hearsal, culminating in two public per-formances of symphony movements. Inaddition to our musical work with theorchestra, we enjoyed a rather extraor-dinary collegial and intercultural expe-

rience as our Chinese counterparts gra-ciously turned their orchestra over to ourbatons. A highlight of our time in Xi’anwas a shared celebratory meal with themembers of the orchestra and theirteachers after our final performance.

In addition to the musical work wedid, I think we really got a sense of thepeople and culture of this wonderfulcountry. The Chinese people were sowelcoming and appreciative of music,and so eager to share with us. There isa palpable excitement about Westernmusic in China that we all found veryrefreshing. The learning experience wasremarkably reciprocal and positive, leav-ing us all with indelible memories ofChina, and a desire to return someday.
