Teaching Hymnology

I spent yesterday afternoon with Bert Pohlman's Teaching Hymnology Seminar and had a great time. I helped the group think about revising James Sydnor’s Hymns: A Congregational Study. I led them through some activities designed to have them think about some of the basic questions curriculum writers need to address when they start a curriclum. The Calvin Institute of Christian Worship blog has a posting about it. I had a wonderful time meeting these fifteen scholars and helping them think about curriculum from an educator's perspective.
