You Can’t Post Those Words from the Bible

Thursday, May 9, 2013

The proprietary status of the Scripture is becoming a problem for parishes that are wanting to broadcast text during liturgy rather than have everyone hold missalettes (which are expensive).

An Easter Hymn to ENGELBERG

Thursday, May 9, 2013

I noticed that the hymn tune ENGELBERG is on the liturgy schedule for the Colloquium, and it reminded me to find this hymn text from among its mothballs.One of the things I admire most about the excellent Charles Wesley is his ability to paraphrase Scripture in a hymn.
