I'd opt for "gay, gracious" rather than "gay and gracious", but would also sing the latter if it came to it.<br /><br />We sang "For all the Saints" last Sunday, the six stanzas afforded us by our hymnal (it omits "And when the strife" and "The golden evening" as well as the 3 "Romish" verses). As I said in <a href="http://forums.baptistlife.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7736" rel="nofollow">the thread on this at BaptistLife.com</a> (or was it at <a href="http://www.semicolonblog.com/?p=6421" rel="nofollow">Semicolon</a>?) someday I'd like to sing/experience the whole 11! <br /><br />Good day for "When the saints go marching in", too.Leland Bryant Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14211499185401035099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24288613.post-61293521348952641042009-11-02T15:23:41.210-05:002009-11-02T15:23:41.210-05:00Thank you for a great post.

"For All the Saints" is a favorite of mine.<br /><br />I expect that you'll be interested in a discussion underway now at my blog over "Bring Many Names," a hymn by Brian Wren, and how it may apply to an All Saints invocation with a gay and lesbian focus.<br /><br />"Bring Many Names" includes "strong father God" and "warm mother God." Are we ready for "gay and gracious God"? I know you love hymns, so I wanted to alert you to this debate and invite your input. I don't know how to contact you except by leaving comments here. Thanks for being one of the saints.Kittredge Cherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617858676733169316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24288613.post-57177186431321360112009-11-01T18:49:35.577-05:002009-11-01T18:49:35.577-05:00This hymn is among my favourites of the favourite ...This hymn is among my favourites of the favourite 100 or 1,000 - depending on the day!<br /><br />There is a great set of variations on SINE NOMINE written for organ by Canadian composer Denis Bedard. I want it played at my funeral for the postlude; it's a great piece of music.AuntEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632926330058119348noreply@blogger.com
