"Where Are the Psalms?" The state of congregational Psalm singing after 50 years of worship renewal
Erskine College and Seminary (ARP) is sponsoring this seminar Thursday and Friday, Feb. 26-27, 2009 in Due West, SC.
"Where are the Psalms in American Protestant worship life? Even denominations that used to define themselves by their exclusive Psalm singing have often largely abandoned the practice. And while contemporary Praise and Worship services frequently use Psalm-based choruses, they tend to include only a verse or two.
Over the past fifty years, other denominations have been urging the inclusion of sung Psalmody in their recommended orders of worship, and have been providing a growing number of resources. Yet, for the most part, these voices and resources are being ignored at the congregational level.
This symposium addresses these issues:
Why have denominations been so ineffective in convincing congregations to sing the Psalms? Should Psalms be sung in Christian worship? If so, after fifty years of worship renewal and change, what do we do now to encourage more Psalm singing?

I just went to a Family Bible Conference at the ARP conference center in NC, and we sang from their book of psalms, Bible Songs. I really hope this conference ignites new interest in bringing back this form of biblical music!
