Bishopric

The bishop and his counselors oversee ward music. They have the following responsibilities:

• They call and set apart ward members to serve in music callings as outlined in this section.
• They consult regularly with the ward music chairman to ensure that musical selections and instruments used in Church meetings are appropriate (see guidelines in 19.4.2).
• They support a ward choir by encouraging members to participate and by making available a rehearsal time that is free of other ward conflicts.
• They encourage members to participate in congregational singing.
• They encourage members to use uplifting music in their homes (see 19.8). [Church Handbook.]
