Huge Response to Hymnal Supplement Request
Revd Dr Peter Thompson of the Liturgical Advisory Committee writes:
On behalf of the Hymnal Sub–Committee of the LAC may I thank all those
who have responded to our request for suggestions of items to be included in a
supplement to the Hymnal.
We have been overwhelmed by the number of submissions
received and have tried to thank each individual personally, but this has
become increasingly difficult as the volume of correspondence has increased.
The number of suggested items has reached almost 1,500, which is ten times the
number suggested for the Supplement. The committee is in the process of
assessing these, and intends to make a suggested list available to Synod
members this year.
We are delighted to have received submissions from every county on the island, representing every diocese, and are conscious that the need for a supplement has been so positively expressed and the work of the committee encouraged and welcomed.
