Abstract

Congregational singing represents the part of corporate worship in which the entire group of worshippers present participates. It is, therefore, a vital and integral part of public worship. However, despite the availability of broad general guidelines at the denominational level, these have not always been implemented in an effective manner at the level of the local church or pastoral district. This project is presented in two parts. Part one is a paper which serves as the theoretical component of the project. It includes a biblical-theological rationale for congregational singing, a denominational perspective, an historical overview of Christian hymnody and suggestions for the implementation of the workshop program which follows. The practical component of the project is contained in part two which contains the suggested workshop program. The program is to be presented over two weekends. The first weekend helps the church members understand the role of congregational singing in worship. The second weekend addresses the music personnel and worship leaders. The value of this project depends on the attitudes of those who implement the singing.
