CHORAL EVENSONG AMONG THE YORUBA ANGLICAN CHURCHES: A CRITICAL ASSESSMENT OF MUSIC IN ITS ORDER AND LITURGY

Abstract

John McManners sees Christianity in his book as a way of life. The seed sown by our Lord Jesus Christ grew like a grain of mustard seed, germinated and spread with amazing rapidity through the Apostolic age to Rome, Britain, Europe, North America, South America, Africa, India and the far East and the Orthodox Churches or Eastern Europe. The prophecy in Acts 1:8 has been fulfilled. “Christianity is a religion of the word – the word made flesh, the word preached, the word written to record the story of God’s intervention in history.†The word therefore was preached, and is being preached and will be preached throughout the world.
