“Praise God, from whom all blessings flow”: The life and times of Thomas Ken

“PRAISE GOD, FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW”: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THOMAS KEN

SUNDAY, April 11 AT 1:30 P.M. 

One of the most frequently sung texts in worship at St. Peter’s and in many churches is the Doxology (“Praise God from whom all blessings flow”). The author of these familiar words is the Anglican bishop and hymn-writer Thomas Ken. Despite the ubiquity of this hymn stanza, Bishop Ken himself has fallen somewhat into obscurity. On April 11 at 1:30 p.m., join our Zoom meeting to hear from parishioner and Choir member Bruce Ryder, as he shares his research into the life and times of this widely-sung author.
