Sacred Harp singing revived in East Texas gathering

Henderson residents revive an old time religious folk tradition with Sacred Harp singing led by Judge Donald Ross. The 117th East Texas Sacred Harp Singing Convention runs today through Sunday at the Henderson Community Building, the oldest of its kind in Texas. The form dates to the 1840s with shaped-note songbooks and unaccompanied vocals.

Christians Should Settle Disputes Among Believers

A sermon-like passage urges Christians to resolve church disputes within the faith rather than suing each other in non Christian courts. It argues that believers will judge the world and angels, and warns that taking cases to outsiders dishonors the Lord. The text cites 1 Corinthians 6 1 8 and Matthew 5 11 12 and offers contact for a Living New Testament copy.
