I am professor of worship at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, Evanston, Illinois, and a widely-published author of hymn texts.  My first purpose in creating this website is to make information about my hymns more readily available to people who would like to sing them in churches.  I am also hoping to provide quick answers to questions I am frequently asked, especially since my responsibilities as professor make it difficult to answer all the email I receive.  I will be adding more resources and links as time goes by.  I wish you God's peace.

Summer Course, 2010

Christian Public Worship

June 28-July 9

This is a basic course in Christian worship, designed for people who will be serving local churches as pastors, educators, deacons, or musicians.  It may be taken for academic credit, and if there is enough space, auditing (at a much lower fee) is also possible.  If you are interested in hymn writing, you could focus on that for some of the assignments.  Please contact me if you would like more information.

In Summer 2011 I have tentative plans to teach this as a hybrid online-residence course, requiring only one week in residency. The online dimension will not be possible in 2010.
