Music and singing opened every session of the consultation, with Brethren musicians from a wide variety of backgrounds bringing offerings that varied from popular Christian to classic hymn tunes, original compositions to mariachi. Pastor Gilbert Romero (right) of Bella Vista Church of the Brethren in Los Angeles, and Marisel Olivencia (seond from left), pastor for Hispanic ministries at First Church of the Brethren in Harrisburg, Pa., were two of the leaders for the music.
