[Oe List ...] THANKS to ALL that FOREWARDED

[Herman Greene]

Songs are very important. With respect to Hymn writing, I was just
forwarding material on John Montgomery's website, so he deserves the credit
for the hymn writing idea.

Thanks very much Jack for the Contradictions file. Dixie Jennings-Teats is
suggesting that we do some Pentecost Hymn-Writing. I suppose it could either
be a workshop or simply a public request with a deadline for posting.

 

I was fascinated by the posting that Herman gave earlier this week. I was
also fascinated by the brillaince with which Jaime writes as he recalled
John's life work. Perhaps we could do some hymn-writing.

 

Its not enough to present a new world-view in the sermons if the hymnody
parrots the indiscriminate Sunday School amalgamation of Mark, Matthew, and
Luke echoing a 2-story universe.

 

And what's more, we could take Jack's analysis and do some
Bob-Dylan/Pete-Seeger-style song writing. That would be one more way for the
issues get off the page of contradictions into the mainstream media!!

 

In my brooding I've listed issues that could be topics for songs (attached).
Is there anyone interested in joining the effort?

 

David
