We’ve said it here at Project Zion many times, and it bears repeating … “We sing our faith into being.” And, we’ve been doing just that for generations. Over time, because our understandings of God have deepened and our beliefs have shifted from time to time, some hymns no longer fit with the direction that Community of Christ is being called.  In comes John Charles Duffy with a fresh perspective on how to honor our past and move into the future with some of those old favorites. Join host, Karin Peter, and guest, John Charles Duffy, for a follow-up conversation to his Historic Sites Fall Lecture titled, "There's an Old Old Song: Hymns as Objects of Historic Restoration." It’s sure to get you thinking!!
