Living Tradition: Praise God from whom all blessings flow

Living Tradition is an ongoing series that explores the music and liturgy at St. Peter’s. Go to http://livingtradition.online for link for all sessions of this series. Our next session titled “Praise God from whom all blessings flow”: The Life and Times of Thomas Ken, will be on April 11 at 1:30 p.m. One of the most frequently sung texts in worship at St. Peter’s is the Doxology (“Praise God from whom all blessings flow”). The author of these familiar words is the Anglican bishop and hymnwriter 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., come hear from parishioner and Choir member Bruce Ryder, as he shares his research into the life and times of this widely-sung author.
