Sing it Forward

Description

Sing It Forward was born of a church in transition. Awakening to the clarity of contemporary Christian and secular scholarship and moving beyond doctrinal beliefs demanded that liturgy and the language that supported it be radically revised. An urgent need, it was no less important, however, than our desire to hold fast to elements of our heritage that had defined and enriched us as a congregation, a denomination, and a faith tradition. And so, over several years my partner, Scott Kearns, and I sourced and rewrote songs so that they could be used in contexts where the congregation was growing out of the Christian tradition and so, too, singing itself beyond beliefs.
