I t's amazing how the familiar can seem new again if treated creatively and given a personal touch. Such is the case with Servant Songs, a recording made by 27 women of the Lutheran Deaconess Conference. But the deaconesses make the music, both vocal and instrumental aspects, their own with light, pleasing treatments. According to Dawn Riske Hoye, co-project coordinator and keyboard musician, the project arose as a way to fund service work by the Lutheran Deaconess Association.
Deaconesses perform services such as health care, teaching and social ministries.
Today's concept is tainted by undertones of subservience, victimization, inferiority, powerlessness. Some of the income from the recording will go toward training future deaconesses. 8765 w. higgins rd. This site designed and maintained by Lorel K. Fox . All rights reserved.
