Icemoon SG Personally I feel the hymnal book is a priceless gem. Those more charismatic churches pple are missing out a lot. Actually I was a bit surprised when I discovered that time (while in a Lutheran Church) Protestants actually have different hymnal books. Hmm ..
Icemoon SG I thought Isaac Watts was cool 'cos he wrote "We are marching to zion". Was quite high when I heard and sang it the first time.
Kuali Baba SG I find Marty Haugen's 'Mass of Creation' breath-taking, especially the Gloria, Doxology and Sanctus. I like George Frederik Handel's classical and sacred works too, the latter include 'Joy To The World' and the 'Hallelujah Chorus'.
Icemoon SG I have one at home. And when I went to the Lutheran Church that time, I got nothing to do so just flip their hymnal book and viola .. it is the 'Lutheran' version! So I now guessing whether there are Anglican, Methodist and Presybterian versions as well?
Icemoon SG It'll be fun comparing the different versions. I wonder how are the hymns inside "canonized" for the different denominations?
Icemoon SG Where is SGMacross? Do you guys have a hymnal book? 'cos I only remember the Missal book when I went to church.
Ironside SG waw!!!!!!! you've been everywhere Icemoon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Been to Lutheran.......Catholic.............where else?
Kuali Baba SG We do. It's normally with the hymnals, unless the Church prints the hymns and readings on sheets of paper. But at my church there are both missals and hymnals. What else would you like to know?
Icemoon SG Charismatic (CHC, NCC, FCBC, Hope) .. Bible-Presybterian .. and some churches dunno what denomination one. But hey .. let me tell you .. a Lutheran Church is damn cool 'cos it reminds me somehow of the Jewish synagogue.
Icemoon SG I was barred entry that time 'cos of security. The furthest I went was outside their door but inside the gate. And damn .. did I tell you the security guard was Roman Catholic? I said Lutheran Church reminds me of synagogue 'cos the latter has a sanctuary (or dunno what you call it) .. the box/enclosure in the middle where I presume the Torah would be read. And the Lutheran Church has it! Except the box is in front. Note this box is not the pulpit. Cool!
Icemoon SG Curiousity. Since a synagogue is right at our doorstep (sg is small country you see .. ) .. why not go in and see see?
Ironside SG Yeah, it's a beautiful country...........my mom with my sis went on vacation there just this year. Next time, maybe i'll tag along.
