With one voice
“Not long ago, the voices of the people were the predominant sounds during church worship,” writes music professor Melissa Davis in the latest Faith Today History Lesson column. “Today the sound coming from the platform has all but silenced the congregation’s voice, leaving many feeling like irrelevant, passive spectators.” Davis explains why we should reclaim corporate worship.
