Congregation We desire to offer ourselves to know and be known. We will strive to truly see the faces of those we do not easily understand. John McLarty What makes this possible? 6 Congregation We stand by the cross that unites our hearts. As children of God, as sisters and brothers of Christ, we have become family. John McLarty May God help us, may Christ sustain our love, and may the Spirit transform our lives. All Amen.

Whereas in the Catholic Church scripture had been chanted in Latin by the clergy, the communal singing of songs in the vernacular became the accepted Protestant practice. To provide music for this purpose, numerous musicians supplied tunes, some of them original, others borrowed from both sacred and secular songs. The tune Old 100th is commonly attributed to Loys (or Louis) Bourgeois (c. 1510-1560), a French composer and theorist. He was one of three principal composers of the hymn tunes in the Genevan Psalter, a 16th Century compilation of Psalms to be sung in worship services. In 1551, Bourgeois came into conflict with the musical authorities of his day because, “without a license,” he changed the tunes of some of the Psalms. He was cast into prison for his offense and only through the intervention of John Calvin gained release. At that point, he shook the dust of Geneva from his feet and left the city, never to return. Many different texts have been set to Old 100th. Probably the best known is the Doxology, a hymn widely used throughout Christendom. In our service today, the tune is used for “Diverse in Culture, Nation, Race.” Text: Ruth C. Duck is Professor of Worship at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois. She received a Bachelor of Music degree in organ performance from Willamette University in our neighboring state of Oregon and her Th.D. in Theology and Liturgy from Boston University School of Theology. Ordained in the United Church of Christ, she has served local churches in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts. She was President of the North American Academy of Liturgy in 2007. A prolific writer, she has authored, co-authored, and edited several books of worship resources and is currently writing a textbook on worship to be published by Westminster Knox in 2013. She has written, translated, or adapted many hymns, including our opening hymn this morning. Dr. Duck states, “Studying worship is exciting; above all, teaching and learning about worship inspire awe and humility, because as planners and leaders of congregational praise, we share in the Spirit’s labor to draw all humanity into just relationship with God and all creation.” ¡DAME LA MANO! Dame la mano y mi hermano seras.
