I hear them singing again. This time, the sound is the witness shared by our Chancel Choir on Old Time Religion Sunday. Our Choir and the Men s Ensemble performed superbly. They took us back to another era. Few people enjoy reminiscing more than I do.
Memory can be a wonderful thing.
Remembering is one of the most important things the church does. Memory can also paralyze an individual, a church, or any human institution. It can cause us to yearn for a world in which we no longer live perhaps even for a world we never inhabited. And, sometimes it can cause us to miss the wonder of each new moment of God s Creation. The Prophet Isaiah chided the Hebrews during their Babylonian captivity.
