Lenten Lectionary-Inspired Hymns
These eight new hymn texts—two for Ash Wednesday, and one for each of the Sundays in Lent, including Passion / Palm Sunday—closely follow the texts and themes of the Revised Common Lectionary, Year C. The hymns are set to familiar tunes in the 1990 Presbyterian Hymnal. Liturgical notes accompanying each hymn offer suggestions about how they might be used in worship.

Mark Achtemeier is not the only evangelical Christian who has changed his understanding of homosexuality. I have been a Presbyterian minister since 1949. I am still a committed evangelical. I repeat the Apostles Creed with confidence. I embrace “the Word of God which is contained in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments” as our guide in understanding “what man is to believe concerning God, and what duty God requires of man,” I reject the journalistic practice of identifying the religious right as evangelical. For most of my life I responded to homosexuality in terms of the Holiness Code... Edward D. Auchard H.R. - Saturday, 6 March 2010 Read more... |
