National Seminar of United Methodist Women
taking place in Nashville August 2-8,2003
is "If not now, when?... if not me... who?"

Responsively Yours: Gospel Hymns From Women
July-August Response Magazine
The Gospel hymn primarily developed in the urban
revivals led by Dwight L. Moody, D.W. Whittle and
later, Billy Sunday. Each of these revival
preachers had as part of their team a song leader
who selected songs, sometimes wrote them and led
the singing for the services. Philip Bliss worked
with D.W. Whittle; Ira Sankey with Dwight Moody;
and Homer Rodeheaver with Billy Sunday.
