The theme of the third Academy of Global Song on
October 25-27 will be "Birthed in Water, Shaped
in Song."
Since the beginnings of the Christian church,
music has been a powerful instrument for
expression, proclamation, and transformation of
the faith. Throughout the ages, the Church has
been both shaped and characterized by what it
sings: from hymns and refrains found in the
Bible, to plainchant, the sacred polyphony of the
Middle Ages and
Renaissance, the Lutheran Chorale, the Genevan
Psalter, Victorian and gospel hymns, and
contemporary Christian music.

I grew up in Seguin, Texas, a product of the pre-
civil-rights era and of The United Methodist
Church. My church and the historical social
context shaped my life, community, and world.
During this era, segregation and discrimination
were open and acceptable practices for the white
majority population. We experienced
discrimination because of our names, skin color,
and accents.
