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

[Del Morril]

One of those young women was Del (Dolores), who had a big thing about
inclusive language!! Though am unaware of running an old computer room word
processor, though I'd love to know who she was. There was more to it than
just inclusive language regarding male and female - I believe there was some
attempt to be even more universal, if I recall.

Brought back memories of a (then) young woman who ran the old computer room
word processor.  She 'updated' many of the songs and got the songbooks into
print with inclusive language - can't remember her name.

Great idea, and don't we already have a song called "The Pentecost Hymn"?

    LIke the sound of heaven with the rushing of the wind

    Came the fire a=burning and new life was given to men.

    The young see visioons and the old dream dreams

    Born of fire, filled with power for all men.   (a few changes needed,
obviously)

 

    To the light from darkness  and to freedom from fear,

    Building from the ashes into one community:

    Peter, Paul and Luther, Augustine and Benedict

    Born of fire, filled with power for all men.

There are two more verses I can send if you want them. They are good, but
need some attention to gender! I found this in Movement Songs, page A-30.  I
think we must have about all the songs written and they will belong to the
Archives as soon as we stop using them.

    G&P,  Nan Grow

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
