Lee Sang-cheol: Our Hymn Story

Today, what is a holy family in the Catholic Church in Korea? Is the saint faithfully implementing the Gospel spirit? In the world's rapid change, what direction should sex music take? The book concludes with a discussion of the direction that should be taken, as the author, who has been active in the field of private and sex music education for 30 years since the ordination of the priesthood, looks back on yesterday in South Korea’s Catholic music, assesses today's reality. The author is raising a fundamental and intrinsic question in this book about what kind of passage and historical processes the saints now call to us, where they are of the highest value and who are faithfully practicing the Gospel spirit. He points out that our family is now stuck in a state of decline and says we should take the new style of choir seriously. That is, it is only when you have to break away from the practices and institutions of the traditional tradition and access to sex music in a new light that you can gain life. So the author is offering a battle and constructive offer to breathe new sex music into the 21st century Korean church, challenging stereotypes of what it should be like and uniformized perceptions and various reforms that are encountered every day on the scene. The author advises that, above all, the church needs to maintain its open stance on renewal by putting down authoritarianism and constantly talking to the faithful community. This could be done by the author as a priest on the scene who loves sex music more than anyone else, and as a professional researcher, composer, conductor, educator.
