After receiving a recommendation from a hymnal exploration team, the World
Church Leadership Council endorsed the creation of an international song and
hymn resource for the church. The new hymnal is scheduled to be presented
to the church at the 2013 World Conference.
One of the primary reasons for embarking on a hymnal project is the need to
clearly articulate the church’s message, mission, and identity in songs that
help us sing what we believe. We take very seriously the responsibility to help
shape future disciples through song.
As part of our information-gathering process, we are
asking the entire church to take part in an evaluation of the songs in our four
existing hymnals: Hymns of the Saints, Sing for Peace, Sing a New Song,
and By Request through an online survey available until December 31, 2008.
