Church Jazz Service Transforms St Pauls Manuka
In Canberra at St Pauls Manuka a Sunday service led by Australian composer Malcolm Williamson became a lively jazz infused ritual. Congregants swayed with arms linked, stamps and handkerchiefs waved as the choir and laity joined in a spontaneous modern antiphonal chant to Jesus lover of my soul. The rector and archdeacon supervised a shift from 1662 Prayer Book form to Sunday Services Revised inviting broad participation.
