RCAI

If you were being received into the church as an adult, a young adult even, what music would make the occasion more memorable and or less scary? What would help?

In my experience, the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a wonderful combination of pastoral care and teaching (and learning, for the teachers among us) and rituals (rites) - all spread over quite a long period of time, but accelerating in the Lent leading up to the sacraments of initiation at Easter. There is a large body of excellent music for all stages of this process. I am snatching a momentary break at work to write this, but when I have more time, I will give some examples.
