I love this - and as a mother of a gay son, I appreciate you including the verse that includes him and all LGBTQ people. Beautiful voices. Beautiful message. 💗🏳️🌈
LOVE this hymn ! Thank you for sharing it I needed to hear it at this moment We sing it at our DIVERSE, INCLUSIVE _Baptist_ church in Alabama (US) Yep. a state with a painful history of bigotry and exclusion . . . Trust the Process though 🙏🏽 Old Librul Baptist in Alabama 🔵🟥
Heartfelt rendition. I so much appreciate that the "optional" verse regarding queer and straight all having a place at the table was included. So many versions of Shirley Erena Murray's hymn to an inclusive society omit this verse, which misses the central point she is trying to get us to see.
I posted this to the Reddit r/ChristianUniversalism subreddit, and here is the first comment: "Wow, those are powerful lyrics, highlighting compassion, justice, equality, and inclusion. I really enjoyed that. The whole song, every line so meaningful. Thank you! "And God will delight when we are creators of justice and joy, compassion and peace!""
This selection will follow lighting the Peace Candle and Prayer, it is also Communion Sunday. Yes, God will delight when we are creators of justice, justice and joy.
might I use this lovely recording for a United Reformed Church in the UK service in July? We have the requisite streaming and copyright licences and would, of course, fully acknowledge you. Many thanks, Andy
Centre Place is the Toronto congregation of the denomination Community of Christ. We ordain LGBTQ+ ministers and our next president will probably be a women.
The contrast between the intended message & the form chosen to deliver it is beyond jarring... stock video footage & stock religious hymns are not the tools of the oppressed. When half your video description is dedicated to maintaining copyright & licencing protections, you are very loudly telegraphing your intent of appropriating activism for corporate interests, in a counter-productive way. Classic church style of make songs about the joy of children while SA'ing them, I guess?
Thanks for your comments. We do not usually engage with negative comments like yours, but we thought it would be important for you, and maybe others who think like you, to know you go through life making incorrect assumptions. Why stock footage? Because we do not have the resources to hire professional video crews, we are a small church congregation. Why the copyright notices? To protect our channel from copyright strikes.

This is the first hymn I've heard in awhile that doesn't make me feel uncomfortable and stifled. 💕🏳️🌈 Thank you!

the process both creates the need for hymns and provides them, that's like trusting a snake selling anti-venom
@@christofthedead we mainly do this because we love singing these hymns
