That’s how I found your blog.<br /><br />"I just wondered if by chance you had ever had a chance to look at these two. [Glenn means the EV. LUTH. HYMNARY, which I put alongside TLH 1941 as the best American Lutheran hymnals, and CELEBRATION HYMNAL, which I have yet to evaluate.] I’d be curious about your opinion. I kind of thought the Ambassador Hymnal wasn’t that bad of a choice, but was amused and interested in your blog (though to be frank, most of the hymns you cited, I’ve virtually never heard used in any Lutheran churches I’ve gone to). I took your point about wanting to have good theology behind the hymns to heart, though, and this is what my prior (Missouri synod) pastor, now deceased, used to say as well."<br /><br />Thanks, Glenn!RobbieFishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112535005437118728noreply@blogger.com
