James Abbington – interview and discussion

Together we will watch a presentation by the late hymnologist Dr. James Abbington. We’ll learn some history of African American Spirituals, Hymns, Gospel Music and how each style informs and interacts with one another; time for questions and discussion include. Dr. Abbington was an author, editor of several hymnals, and taught at Emory University’s Candler School of theology for many years. Join us as we enrich our knowledge of sacred music!
