Hymns from our Liberal Religious Tradition: Vol. 2
The diversity of styles, sounds, and voices, from the Chancel Choir with The Folk Orchestra and Friends, on this CD echo the inclusivity of our faith. These 25 hymns from SINGING the LIVING TRADITION are a record of our collective spiritual life. Ranging from the familiar to the boldly unconventional, they are the songs we sing in celebration, mourning, protest, and love. It is their hope that congregations and individuals everywhere will take as much joy and inspiration from the music as they do.
