- Notes
- "I can understand that many of the hymns in 'Common Praise' sound alien to Indigenous Anglicans. Coming from Switzerland, a republic for hundreds of years, all these references to 'King of Kings' and 'golden crowns' don't make sense to me. 'Father, Almighty God, Creator' is what I feel comfortable with. The melodies are familiar, since they come from the European culture. But that is not the case for Indigenous Anglicans. With the struggle for funds overall, new hymn books might be way down the line of priorities. We could start with photocopying a few hymns created by Indigenous Anglicans and take it from there".
