Par BRALEY BERNARD. Bernard Braley The first volume in a series telling in depth the life stories of some great hymnwriters. The stories can easily be turned into occasional performances of hymns with interspersed readings. There are numerous quotations helpful to this end. The volume covers Thomas Ken, Reginald Heber, John Ellerton and William Walsham How. The book is full of the unexpected and makes a delightful gift. ''Quotations from hymns, letters and diaries, together with photographs, illustrate the text fully. This is a fascinating book, and those with a talent for dramatisation would find this an ideal starting-point for creating a play. '' ''We have come to associate aspecial combination of lively style and meticulous research with the writings of Bernard Braley. In this first volume on hymnwriters we are not disappointed. '' (The Local Preachers' Magazine) ''Mr Braley's biographical method is highly original - so far as I know unique - but carefully contrived to suite the nature of his subjects. His unorthodox method helps to make these men new to us, and powerfully to promote in us a sense of fellowship with them. '' (The Hymn Society Bulletin) ISBN 0 85249 667 2/ Livre / Livre

Uniting traditions in the worshipping church-Different streams of the church adopt distinctive styles of worship thus creating their own traditions. Some churches are characterised by hymns which have stood the test of time others by songs that were written yesterday.Neither is necessarily right or wrong but we are in danger of thinking that certain songs are exclusive to our particular tradition. But what of the many churches that seek to progress from the old but at the same time are unsureof how to explore the new? They find themselves in a gap between the two often pursuing a style of worship that misses out on the richness of either. We in the Christian family owe it to ourselves and to future generations toembrace a greater diversity of musical expression to be open to some 'cross-pollination' and thus to share in the blessings of God's gifts.The Bridge a major collection of 427 songs and hymns has been born out of adesire to cross the doctrinal and musical divides between churches and to provide leaders with a resource which aims to be imaginative theologically sound and musically varied. It contains many hymns with which you will befamiliar and alongside their original tunes some brand-new arrangements. It also includes many songs given to us by the powerful outpouring of contemporary songwriters.
