Hope is our Song’ is title for the conference on New Zealand hymns, taking place in Palmerston North over Labour Weekend, October 23 to 26, 2009. The subtitle, Peace/Justice/Integrity of Creation, highlights the significant public issues of our age. Sponsorship for the conference has come from the World Council of Churches’ Decade to Overcome Violence programme.
The kaupapa of the conference offers a three-fold invitation:
Come and learn new hymns to inspire your congregation and community
Come and be energised by the message of hope in hymns and songs of justice, peace and the integrity of creation
Come and network with others whose spirituality is nurtured by singing words and music relevant to Aotearoa in 2009
Clive Pearson, Principal of the Uniting Church in Australia Theological College, Jim and June Strathdee, music leaders from California, and Colin Gibson, hymnwriter from Dunedin, are among the presenters, and leading NZ hymnwriters will also attend. The New Zealand Hymnbook Trust, organisers for this event, invite offers of workshops. Full details on the conference, including a copy of the Registration brochure, will be found on the Trust website: www.hymns.org.nz
