Praise for the Hymnal

Methodist Jonathan—he doesn’t reveal his last name on his blog—has written a thoughtful essay promoting hymnal use rather than words projected on a screen. Happily, St. Paul’s is not using projection to replace the hymnal—not even at the 8:45 service—but the article does make arguments for using the hymnal you may not have thought of. If you are interested in singing in church, do read “15 Reasons Why We Should Still Be Using Hymnals.” Read the comments as well, some of which promote an opposing view.
