This talk will have a special focus on former Trinity director of music Jim Litton, who played a central role in developing the hymnal. Books will be available for purchase and signing after the talk! 

Of her presentation, Marty writes:  
"Explore the groundbreaking Hymnal 1982 through the eyes of its creators as the Episcopal Church celebrates the fortieth anniversary of its publication. Through the author’s first-person interviews, meet the poets, composers, clergy, liturgists, and scholars who contributed to this influential book, and hear their insights about what has worked well—and the changes they envision for the future. Dr. Burnett will also share several discoveries from her study of James Litton’s papers in the Archives of the Episcopal Church."
