It was the committee’s strong desire that this hymnal would represent and preserve the rich theological, cultural, and musical heritages of these traditions and offer a full breadth of music representing historical as well as vibrant contemporary worship, while looking toward the future. It was also of utmost importance that this hymnal draw the body of Christ together so that it may be enlarged, enriched, and inspired to live and worship based on what unites us: “one Lord, one faith, one baptism.” This hymnal contains selections of diverse styles and genres, including traditional ecumenical hymns, contemporary texts written for the twenty-first-century church, praise and worship selections, music from Taizé, choral responses, responsorial psalmody, traditional and contemporary gospel music, and Negro spirituals.

Walker 1929–2018 Born in 1929 in Brockton, MA, Rev. Dr. Wyatt T. Walker was the son of Rev. John Wise Walker and Maude Pinn. He was the eigth of nine children. A double graduate of Virginia Union University (BS in chemistry and physics with honors and a masters of divinity). He went on to obtain his doctorate of ministry from the Rochester Theological Center in New York. Walker was considered a lifelong scholar through his graduate studies and research at several international universities. His ministry began as the pastor of the historic Gillfield Baptist Church in Petersburg, VA (1952– 1960), and he concurrently served Mt. Level Baptist Church in Dinwiddie, VA. His initial advocacy for civil rights began when he was arrested at the Petersburg library for attempting to check out a book in the “whites only” section. This sparked library protests around the country. He and his wife were Freedom Riders who were jailed in Jackson, MS. While both were seminary students, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. recognized Walker’s abilities and organizing skills. Walker eventually was selected as executive director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) based in Atlanta, King’s chief of staff, and a key strategist for the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Dr. Walker built the SCLC into a national organization with chapters throughout the country. He wrote the blueprint for the 1963 campaign that desegregated Birmingham. It is noteworthy that the Letter from a Birmingham Jail was written from Dr. King’s cell on scraps of paper. Dr. Walker collected King’s notes upon his visits and then helped translate the manifesto for publication. He was a key organizer of the March on Washington. At the request of Mrs. Coretta King, he also organized and arranged Dr. King’s funeral. In 1967, Walker became chief executive minister of Canaan Baptist Church (Harlem, NY), where he served as pastor for 37 years before retiring as pastor emeritus in 2004. SPIRITS THAT DWELL IN DEEP WOODS WYATT TEE WALKER Twenty years after the Emancipation, the children of slaves found themselves living in the reality of separateness, and their religious practice turned increasingly inward. A unique body of hymnody grew out of that period (ca. 1885–1925). These are songs of Southern origin and rural people. These songs are different from spirituals and meter hymns, yet show the latter’s influence. Originally published in three volumes, they have been edited and combined by James Abbington into one clothbound edition. Also available are a CD recording of all of the music discussed in the book and a music edition.
