This event anticipates the celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation on October 31, 2017. The Reformation brought about radical changes in patterns and styles of worship in Western Christianity, not the least of these was the proliferation of congregational participation through singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.

The program will feature hymns from several Reformation traditions---Lutheran, Moravian, Reformed, Catholic---with organ and choral arrangements and, most importantly, congregational singing. Andrew Senn will be leading the singing from the organ, assisted by the choir of St Paul's Lutheran Church.
Commentary on these selections in their historical contexts will be given by the noted Lutheran liturgical scholar, The Rev. Dr. Frank C. Senn. Dr. Senn (Andrew's father) is author of many books and articles, especially Christian Worship---Catholic and Evangelical (1997), and a former President of the North American Academy of Liturgy and The Liturgical Conference. He has served as a parish pastor and now in retirement teaches in seminaries and universities.
