In creating the
African American
ecumenical hymnal, One
Lord, One Faith, One
Baptism it was imperative
to the core committee
that the hymnal serve as
a needed resource for the
many denominations in the
African American Church.
It was the
committee’s strong
desire that this hymnal
would represent and
preserve the rich
theological, cultural,
and musical heritages of
these traditions and
offer a full breadth of
music representing
historical as well as
vibrant contemporary
worship, while looking
toward the future. It was
also of utmost importance
that this hymnal draw the
body of Christ together
so that it may be
enlarged, enriched, and
inspired to live and
worship based on what
unites us: “one
Lord, one faith, one
baptism.†This
hymnal contains
selections of diverse
styles and genres,
including traditional
ecumenical hymns,
contemporary texts
written for the
twenty-first-century
church, praise and
worship selections, music
from Taizé, choral
responses, responsorial
psalmody, traditional and
contemporary gospel
music, and Negro
spirituals. The editors
maintained a remarkably
high degree of excellence
in selecting and
presenting this
repertoire, and church
musicians of all tastes
could find this anthology
useful either as a
reference or as a
repository for
imaginitive
congregational song.
