THIS COLLECTION OF ESSAYS from the Fellowship of St. Moses the Black brings forth the old and the new. Some of the material comes from conferences over the decades, and some was commissioned especially for this volume. Themes range from musical history to the unseen spiritual struggle of the liturgical choir. They range from the "sad joyfulness" of the Spirituals-the first music form original to the U.S.-to the creation new Orthodox liturgical music inspired by those Spirituals.

ANXIETY, TRUST, AND GRATITUDE is for any reader who desires to confront the angst of our times through living a more intentional life according to biblical precepts. The essays are based on talks presented at the 16th, 18th, and 25th annual conferences of the Fellowship of Saint Moses the Black, a pan-Orthodox, multi-racial ministry. Early Church writers define anxiety as a natural consequence of fallen human nature. Holy Scriptures give us trust and gratitude toward God as the remedy. What holds us back from practicing these essential virtues? How can we overcome the spiritual and psychological stumbling blocks?
