Cindy Brown
The Formative Power of Music:
The Connection between Music, your Virtues…and your Sins
St. Augustine once famously said, “He who sings prays twice.” These words seem easy to swallow when we think of liturgical music or songs of Praise and Worship, but what about the rest of your life, or of the world around you? What about those songs that play in the background–in your car, the local store, your children’s iPod? What about these many popular songs which can implant so easily in our minds, and flow so easily from our lips? How mindful are we of these songs, and more importantly, of these lyrics?
Can music actually make you more virtuous…or more sinful? These, and many other questions, will be answered at Cindy Brown’s talk on the philosophy of music and the role of music in the Christian life. This talk is important for everyone, but it is especially necessary for anyone who has children or works with children. Do not underestimate the powerful influence of music in your life. Come find out why!
Cindy Brown is the daughter of Steve Ray, author, international speaker, and the creator of the Footprints of God documentary video series. She got her masters in philosophy from the Franciscan University of Steubenville, as well as a degree in theology with Scott Hahn as her thesis director. Cindy has finished all her Ph.D. work except for the dissertation from the Catholic University of America, at which point God made it clear that it was time to focus on her family. Having been homeschooled all the way through high school, Cindy is now homeschooling her own 5 children and teaching high school philosophy courses for the Christ the King homeschool.

Stand in Defense of Life and Liberty
Dear Friend,
I know this is one of the most hectic seasons of the year, but I am writing because I know you are never too busy to take a stand in defense of life and liberty. Even if you have recently sent a message, please urge Congress again to protect conscience rights for pro-life health care providers. Click here.
Congress has to pass funding for the 2016 Fiscal Year very soon. So our time to advocate for protections is limited. The Abortion Non-Discrimination Act (ANDA) will close loopholes in existing law and provide a private right of action, so that health care providers, whose freedom of conscience is denied, can defend their rights in court. It is now part of the House of Representatives’ appropriations bill for funding HHS. The policy of ANDA has long had bi-partisan support and ANDA’s enactment will simply mean that existing law will be made stronger and easier to use in defense of conscience rights.
Please urge your members of Congress to make sure ANDA is enacted into law as part of the 2016 Fiscal Year funding legislation. Government must not force Americans to violate their religious and moral beliefs about respect for life when they provide health services.
Today, please
Take action and then share this call to action:
Repost the alert across your social media platforms
Follow us on Twitter @NCHLA then repost our tweets using #StandWithCathy
Personalize your message. It will stand out if you add a phrase or sentence to personalize your email, i.e. As a medical professional; As a woman and a physician/nurse; As a patient who relies on a pro-life medical provider…
Remember, more detailed information is available on our website, NCHLA.org. Also, you can learn more about the real people and services whose freedoms have been denied by going to the Conscience page of the USCCB.
We must speak up now to protect our cherished right of conscience. Thank you for acting in defense of life and liberty. Tell everyone you know to join us in raising our voices. Together we will be heard!
