To celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2025, The United Church of Canada commissioned a group of 30 ministers, musicians and worship leaders to create a new hymnal. It was seven years in the making and the results are remarkable. Its globally-sourced collection of hymns “lifts up the intercultural and anti-racist commitment of the church with material that prioritizes Black, Indigenous, People of Color, French-speaking, Two-Spirit and LGBTQTTIA+ voices, and concerns of people with disabilities.” (TLUS preface) It reminds us of “faithful song as an antidote to fear,” and calls us to remember Jesus’ love for everyone.
Join three members of the development team as they discuss Then Let Us SING! and their experience in its creation.
The Rev. Dr. Alydia Smith, Program Coordinator, Worship, Music and Spirituality for the General Council Office of The United Church of Canada.
