6 Unusual Music Minister Non-'Churchy' Arrangements Hailed By LES RODNEY SUMMER WORSHIP AT HIGH STUDENT This summer in the national parks, more people than ever before are gathering on mountainsides, lake shores, canyon rims and hilltops to worship God out of doors. "Never has attendance been SO great," says Rev. Warren W. Ost, director of the National Council of Churches' Ministry in the National Parks. "Sunday services have been jammed beginning at the earliest glimmer of dawn.

We are witnessing a new peak of religious interest on the part of Americans visiting our country's recreation and wilderness areas," he said." AND, not unimportant in a period of more leisure for many: "It shows a growing awareness in America that God can speak just as powerfully and clearly to people in leisure as at work." The student ministers more than 200 young college and seminary students--work at daily jobs in the parks and lead services on Sunday and in their other free time. Mr. Ost describes their work as "a day-to-day ministry designed to break down partitions between the secular and the sacred in God's great outof-doors."

White, Minister 429-0277; 866-6558 Offers to turn his talents to the commercial entertainment field where the monetary rewards are much greater do not attract. Dick Anthony, minister of music at First Baptist Church of Lakewood. "Not that I have anything against secular music as such," says 32-year-old Anthony, winner of many national honors in the sacred music field. "But I feel I can best employ my time in sacred music. That has lasting significance to people." Anthony sees good church music as an underestimated tool in communicating the message of the gospel.

"Churches, of course, use music as part of worship, but I'm not sure they're always fully aware of its evangelistic potential. Sacred music can convey a strong personal relationship with God." ANTHONY'S talents and infectious enthusiasm well as those of his wife, Dotti, a harpist and choir director-are reflected by the "music explosion" at First Baptist of Lakewood since their arrival from the Midwest two years ago. Then there was one 40-voice choir at the church at 5336 Arbor Road. Today 500 members the congregation participate in musical programs, which include 10 choirs, ranging from kindergarten age to the Jubilee Choir, which starts with 55-year-olds and leaves an open end on age going up. The National Evangelical Film Foundation, which gives out highly coveted "Oscars" in the field of the religious arts, has seven awards in the category of records.

Anthony has already won six of these, for best choir, best instrumental music, best duet, best singing, best arranging. In response to growing quests for his personalized rangements, he will next month launch a modest music publishing company Long Beach, which will out a book on church arrangements entitled "Horizons in Harmony." The rangements will include eral original compositions Anthony himself. Asked what was different about his arrangements, put it this way: "My style somewhat unique. You would Telegram Long Beach, Saturday, Aug. 28, 1965 INDEPENDENT--Page B-3 call it more contemporary.

The differences are in the area of progressive harmonies. I try to avoid the routine, the In a way, my arrangements are more akin to pop ballad style. Many could be mistaken at a quick listening for Ray Charles, for instance." ANTHONY is a firm believer in reaching people on the level of their comprehension, and then advancing that comprehension, rather than missing out by shooting over their heads from the start. with young people," he says, "I feel it is important not to perform out of the range of their understanding." At concerts and banquets, he added, "I may use some secular music, to attract the crowds and win their confidence. Much of that music is not as bad as it is painted, there is certainly a time and place for it, for i its entertainment and fun value.

But the more important role of music is to communicate. The lasting message comes from good sacred music." Does he have any solid that his music really has any effect on people beyond the immediate enjoyment of hearing it? "Oh, yes," he replied. "Lots of it. People come to afterward and tell me that part of one particular spoke right to their heart. Some tell me they came feel a personal relationship to Jesus Christ for the time through the music." He cited a recent concert in Detroit following which woman came to me and said she had decided right then and there to accept Christ during a song called 'In Times Like These' which carries pointed message."

His aunt was the organist 'at a church in his native Waukegan, Ill. His parents sang in the choir. "They, still sing in the choirs here in Long Beach." Young Anthony sang in the noted quartet at Bethel College, a Baptist institution in St. Paul, and in 1951 went to New York to appear as tenor soloist on a television show. He was such a hit that he was held on for a year by the American Broadcast-1 ling Co.

program. The following year, while attending American Conservatory of Music, he began doing 25 broadcasts a week for Chicago radio station WMBI, owned by the Moody Bible Institute. The tapes he made are still used by Moodyowned stations in various parts of the country. Anthony has recorded more than 60 albums as performer and arranger. Among his most popular solos are "In Times Like These," "Over the Sunset, Praise," Mountains," and "Pin- "My Song." His own compositions include "This Tender Moment," "To Tell the Untold" and "Canticle of Praise." He likes the Long Beach area.

DICK ANTHONY 'Music Communicates' "SOME people," he said, "have the impression that Southern California is just an entertainment center, with everything fast and loose. But we have found sound and profound people here. "Some of them are more active in church work here than they were in the other parts of the country from which they came. I don't mean only the retired folks, but those in the 35 to 50- year bracket." As for young people, he points with some pride to First Baptist of Lakewood's Sunday School attendance of 1,800. The Anthonys have three children of their own-Karyn, Scott, 6, and Cheryl, 3.
