The Friends of Anglican Music is an incorporated
association (A0034755G) whose statement of purpose is "The preservation and promotion of Anglican
Church Music"
The Friends of Anglican Music Inc (FOAM) is an organisation
founded in 1996 for the purpose of singing music that is
peculiarly Anglican. FOAM has not been established to compete with
the Royal
School
of Church Music. Rather, it supplements the RSCM's function
by providing a purely Anglican area of operation. Neither has FOAM
been established to agitate for the wholesale restoration of the The Book of Common Prayer services. Its
purpose is akin to that of Remembrance Day - Lest We Forget.
We enjoy the membership of people who remember, people who find
it difficult to remember and those who have never sung a Book of Common Prayer service.
FOAM meets four times a year for worship, on either a Saturday
or Sunday afternoon. Usually, there is a rehearsal at 1:45pm
followed by Evensong at 4:00pm
but check below for specific occasions.
Annual Membership of FOAM is:
Single: AU$10
Family: AU$15
Pensioner/Student: AU$6
Further information can be obtained from the Secretary.
Next Meeting:

Be filled with the Spirit, as
you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves,
singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving
thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Ephesians 5:18-20)
