Singing

Contextual talks have been given and papers written reflecting on the purpose of songs and singing. In January 1967 The Image periodical published Volume I and Volume II Songs of the Spirit Movement with a context in Volume I. Joseph Mathews gave two talks in June 1973 on the purpose of songs: June 10th and June 19th.

For many years each Summer Research Assembly compiled a songbook. Various other songbooks were created over the years.  Here is a sampling:

• Songs, Songs, Songs – Some 470 songs compiled from various songbooks over the years by the Philbrook family.
