Ask A Question: saythatpodcast@gmail.com Intro and a "People are singing Madonna songs in church" emergency. (00:00-20:00 I have heard people say that culturally, we need shame to return. When I think of living free of guilt and shame in a Christian sense, it looks way different than people who are acting “shameless” in the way they are. Is there a healthy way for shame to work? (20:00-34:34) Why are the accounts of the Christmas story so different in the different gospels? (34:38-48:05) In the book of acts, were the apostles doing street corner preaching? I tend to think that is a bad way to try to spread the gospel, but is there a biblical basis for it? (48:08-59:36) Closing Song: I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day (Lee Younger)

Less a sermon and more a practical teaching session, Pastor Chris used this occasion to show the congregation some of the ways we can sing the psalms. The lesson included a look at how hymns and their tunes are categorized, how Gregorian Chant works and sounds, and finally how to use a simple melody to sing Psalm 86. Pastor Chris refers throughout the teaching to a sheet that he passed out to the congregation. If you'd like to see and use what they did, please click here: (.pdf file, front/back).

Hymnals can have a great impact on assisting us in navigating through life.

Sources of illustrative material include, but are not limited to, the following:The Bible (Three things are accomplished: the point in the sermon is illustrated, some Bible content is taught indirectly, and you get to repeat yourself without being repetitious.)The preacher's imagination (Be sure you acknowledge you are imagining, and never try to pass off your imaginings as biblical truth.)The preacher's observation of life experiencesSerious reading (A reliable method for retrieval is essential.)Light reading (Articles from newspapers and magazines can be clipped or copied.)BiographyFictionRadio and television (Notable quotes or other materials may be useful.)The fine artsHistoryNaturePastoral work (The preacher should be careful not to betray confidences!)Hymnals and hymn concordancesPersonal experiences (These are often the best illustrations if they are not used too often, and as long as you are honest, and not always the hero of your stories.)As a rule, books of illustrations should be used with caution. Too many “canned” illustrations make a sermon sound “used” or “secondhand.” Perhaps the greatest value of these books is that they can sometimes stimulate the preacher's mind to create his own illustrations.One final word: illustrations should not be viewed as things that are “tacked on” to sermons. Discovering or creating good illustrational material is integral to the sermon writing process. As the preacher outlines and writes his messages, he should constantly ask himself whether each idea is conceptually clear. Will the hearers understand it? Is there a better way to say it? Can it be verbally visualized or explained better by using some analogy? This is the natural time to incorporate illustrations.Support the show

Fireside Chat: The Hymnal: A Reading History (Chris Phillips)

Talking in the Library

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 5, 2020 57:42


Christopher N. Phillips’s The Hymnal is the first study to reconstruct the practices of reading and using hymnals, which were virtually everywhere in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Isaac Watts invented a small, words-only hymnal at the dawn of the eighteenth century. For the next two hundred years, such hymnals were their owners’ constant companions at home, school, church, and in between. They were children's first books, slaves’ treasured heirlooms, and sources of devotional reading for much of the English-speaking world. Hymnals helped many people learn to memorize poetry and to read; they provided space to record family memories, pass notes in church, and carry everything from railroad tickets to holy cards to business letters. In communities as diverse as African Methodists, Reform Jews, Presbyterians, Methodists, Roman Catholics, and Unitarians, hymnals were integral to religious and literate life. An extended historical treatment of the hymn as a read text and media form, rather than a source used solely for singing, this book traces the lives people lived with hymnals, from obscure schoolchildren to Emily Dickinson. Readers will discover a wealth of connections between reading, education, poetry, and religion in Phillips’s lively accounts of hymnals and their readers. Chris Phillips is Professor of English at Lafayette College and a scholar of historical poetics and the history of reading. He is the author of The Hymnal: A Reading History (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2018) and Epic in American Literature, Settlement to Reconstruction (2012), and the editor of The Cambridge Companion to the Literature of the American Renaissance (2018). He is also the PI for the Easton Library Company Database Project, which reconstructs the usage of the first subscription library in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley. Dr. Phillips was a research fellow at the Library Company of Philadelphia in 2016. This chat originally aired at 7:00 p.m. Thursday, October 1, 2020.

Crawford Wiley: Yeah, so one of my very favorite hymnals is one that I first encountered when you and I were at the Christian Congregational Music Conference in Cuddesdon. What year was that? Was that 2015? Sarah Bereza: I know we've been 2015, 2017, and 2019. Crawford Wiley: Yes, that would be 2015. We were attending services at Christ Church in Oxford. And the hymnal there had this kind of striking, modern cover and I thought, Oh, this is interesting. It's a kind of thick little book and paging through it. It's called Common Praise, I should give the title. And it was published in 2000. It is the latest imprint of Hymns Ancient and Modern, for anyone who's familiar with that and all of its iterations. And some things about it are pretty standard. You've got four parts, or depending on which hymnal you've bought, just the melody line on one page, and then opposite or underneath it, the block of text. So that's a pretty common feature in Hymns Ancien and Modern and in a lot of hymnals, particularly in the UK. Sarah Bereza: I'm wondering - is this a UK kind of thing? Because I have not seen that in any American hymnals for congregational use in any recent version. Crawford Wiley: Yeah, I think that having the text interleaved between the stage of the music is a really common American thing. I think this is also by the way, why we kind of get used to the idea of hymn texts generally being about four stanzas. Because four stanzas is about as many stanzas as you can interleave between treble and bass clef. And then you have to shove them to the bottom and no one sings them. Sarah Bereza: Yeah, once you have five, it's hard to read the one in the middle and sing the alto line or whatever. Crawford Wiley: Yeah, interesting side effect of that. So one of the things that struck me about Common Praise was first of, it has a lot of hymns. Let me go all the way to the back here and see just how many we're talking about. This has 628 hymns which, for a hymnal that is not difficult to hold, is kind of a lot of hymns. Sarah Bereza: As I recall, it's a pretty, it's like a really chunky book and the paper is on the thin side. Crawford Wiley: Yeah, it's very satisfying to hold. It's kind of a nice little heft to it, but it's not awkward at all. And again, this is the edition that has the four-part harmonizations for the music. One of the things that the editors did was kind of two priorities that I wish were done more frequently in hymnals. They included a lot of new tunes and new texts, not just new texts set to old tunes. So instead of like the 13 different texts set to Hyfrydol that you encounter in some modern hymnals, you're going to get a new tune for those newer texts or an old tune, but that we haven't sung in a while, you know, so it's not just setting newer takes on texts to old tunes. Sarah Bereza: And I'm guessing these are pretty decent tunes that are singable? Because sometimes you get tunes where I'm like, huh, that's a lot of syncopation for your average choir, right? Crawford Wiley: No, these are these are really singable tunes. Some of them you've probably heard before. And some of these newer tunes are also from the just previous edition of Hymns Ancient and Modern w...

Hymnals and screens often get a knee-jerk response. Supposedly, either hymnals are for old fogeys or people staying true to the faith. And either screens are for people who hate hymns or people who want to use current tools in the church. But if we get past the surface arguments, we can explore what the pros and cons really are for our congregational singing mediums: hymnals, screen, paperless music, and printed supplements like orders of worship. On this episode, Crawford Wiley joins me for a thoughtful conversation about our options. Image via.
