Welcome to the FMCS Web site
The Forum on Music and Christian Scholarship is an association of scholars interested in exploring the intersections of Christian faith and musical scholarship.
We are an ecumenical association, reflecting the world-wide diversity of Christian traditions, and seeking to learn from scholars outside those traditions. As scholars of Christian convictions, we are dedicated to excellence in all our work as musicologists, theorists and ethnomusicologists.

FMCS Notre Dame 2009 Report
On February 27 and 28, 2009, well over fifty members and guests of the Forum on Music and Christian Scholarship met for the seventh annual meeting, hosted this year by the Departments of Music and Theology at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. The slate of presenters included not only scholars from the United States and Canada, but also several from Mexico and Poland. Despite the cold temperatures of the Indiana winter, the meeting was marked by a warm atmosphere of musical scholarship and Christian fellowship.
