Description
When Christians gather in assembly, our communal body sings songs from people everywhere. This cross-cultural sharing of music makes us aware of our differing tongues, styles, tunes, and rhythms, all united by the Spirti in praise and proclamation of the triune God. This seminar will explore the constantly growing repertoire of ritual song from around the globe, and will propose ways in which the selection, leadership, and engagement of this diverse music furthers the mission of the church.
