Thank you, Martina. For the challenging question (and for liking my answer, of course).

Monika@ProZ Jun 17, 2004:

In all fairness, this was a "joint" effort (although we have not heard from Radek and I can only hope he would agree with my aswer). This is my suggestion, I got 4 points, but if Radek likes the answer, he could gloss it and earn 10 points.

And my apologies to Monika, was dealing with 3 Martinas in the last hour, all that before breakfast, it typed itself:)

Non-ProZ.com Jun 17, 2004:

And just found out it won't let me grade two answers, so my apologies to Radek, intended to reward bot of you.

OK, time to close this for now, due date approaching. Since not even God can make everybody happy, I, mere lowly word chewing underpaid freelancer, cannot do that either. Considering the sentence it comes from (The Music Ministry of XXX church in XXX consists of ten ensembles of more than 350 singers, ringers and instrumentalists who seek to glorify God, proclaim ........)and trying to keep the double meaning - the idea of spreading the word as well as the idea of being a body/group of people doing it - I am going with the result of Radek's and Martina's joint effort and will call it Hudebni evangelizacni sekce. Amen:)

...did not have enought space. I am still standing behind my suggestion, that "ministry" is not a noun, but werb "to minister".

Maria Chmelarova Jun 17, 2004:

Martina, this is not about fight. This is about translation, which is not easy in this case. Reading www.cb.cz, you might find interesting articles and some ideas. My suggestion, after typing "evangelizace" would be: evangelizace hudbou.

Non-ProZ.com Jun 16, 2004:

I sure did not intend to start a fight...all I needed was a suggestion how to say Music ministry in Czech without sounding stupid or totally off the wall. The concept is quite clear, we all know what it is in English. All I hoped for was an answer from either somebody who translated and got it approved by experts before or somebody involved in this type of activity/organisation/ministry in the Czech republic.
Thank you all for your ideas so far... luckily it is not due tomorrow.

Pan Pletka, keby ste boli citali zvysok mojho prispevku, mozno by ste sa boli zdrzali vasej poznamky.

Radovan Pletka Jun 15, 2004:

Sireni viry zpevem uz je lepsi, diskutujte prosim s manzelem casteji, ma na Vas zrejme dobry vliv.
Martino, dejte mi pak vedet, co jste se dozvedela, hudebni oddeleni je asi nejvystiznejsi, ale dal bych k tomu hvezdicku a dlouhy popis

Maria Chmelarova Jun 15, 2004:

Spravny postreh. Tento vyraz sa do cestiny alebo slovenciny neda prelozit inak len opisne.
Po debate s manzelom, ako som uz uviedla, je to sirenie viery (nabozenstva)spevom. Styl a rytmus nie je podstatny. Rokova muzika a pod...

existuje to vubec v CZ? Diky za napady...presne to potvrdilo, ceho jsem se obavala:(. Existuje vubecneco takoveho v Cesku? Tahle Music ministry je vlastne cela ta "vec", cele oddeleni, soucast kostela, skladajici se z nekolika sboru (kazdy se jmenuje jinak), hlasovych solistu, individualnich hudebniku, orchestru a lidi, starajicich se o technicke zalezitosti, papirovani atd. Sekretarka zpiva ve dvou sborech, houslista hraje v ruznych prvcich atd. No, berou to tu velice vazne...a co s tim potom v cestine???

Podivej se na http://www.mediatunes.com/bhow/bhow.php Ja bych zavolal nasemu knezi, ale v AZ mam pulnoc. Zkus zavolat nekam do velkeho kostela a zeptat se, nejlepe v nekolika ruznych cirkvich. Tady se v kostelech bere hudba vazne a nazvy jsou drobet hoch
