Singing the Songs of Faith
Exploring the Diversity of the Evangelical Lutheran Worship (ELW)
Guest: Dr. Norma Aamodt-Nelson
Come and join us as we sing some of the wonderful, new hymns of faith found in this ecumenical worship resource. We will be led in this exploration by Dr. Aamodt Nelson, one of the people responsible for assembling this collection of hymns and songs. Jan Cherry, diaconal Minister and Ecumenical Liturgical Coordinator for the School of Theology and Ministry will join her is this pursuit.
As leaders of worshipping communities, you will often be called upon to choose hymns. What are some of the things you must consider? What resources do hymnals offer to help you in this task? We will explore some of the answers to those questions while also singing some of the newer songs found in the ELW.
Plan now to join us!
Catherine of Siena, Teacher, 1380
Catherine was born in Siena probably in 1347, the twenty-third and last child in the large, devout Benincasa family. She was a forerunner of those women of later centuries who were to find their fulfillment not in marriage but in a professional career of service. These words of hers are worth pondering:
“Do you think that our Lord would be pleased with us if we left works of mercy undone because our neighbor is unthankful?”
