Hymnbook panel slated for 2009 UK AGM

That is, next year’s Annual General Meeting of the [British] General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches will have a “hymnb[oo]k panel” on Thursday, April 16, to be held in Chester

That’s about right. The official hymnal, Hymns for Living dates to 1985 and the unofficial but popular (and one I like much) Hymns of Faith and Freedom dates to 1991. Conventional wisdom states a hymnal’s expected lifespan is 30 years, and can take several years to develop.

  1. Actually the new hymnbook supplement “Sing Your Faith” will be launched at GA. They have been working on it for at least five years by my memory. It’s finally going to be a product to buy in April.
