A Cry for Justice in Hymnody

Catalog description

Course is co-taught by Rev. Nancy E. Hall & Rev. Dan Damon. Students will develop their knowledge of hymnody and deepen their awareness of the social issues of our time and how to motivate change through the song of the church. We will look for the best and most singable congregational songs in all musical styles as we develop a sense of how to choose songs and hymns for authentic worship while making use of the resources of recent denominational hymnals. Included in this course will be the many justice hymns of Daniel Charles Damon. This course is appropriate for masters level students.
