Hymnal Committee Personnel

Persons selected for the committee to create a new hymnal for the PC(USA) have been announced (September 15). Among the names are Mary Louise Bringle, on the faculty at Brevard College and Steve Fey on the staff at PFC Bristol, TN. Mel Bringle is professor of religion at Brevard, and a prolific writer of hymn texts. She presented at Montreat W&M Conferences in 2008. Steve and his wife Vicki have been fixtures at the Montreat conferences for years. Our own Keithie Knowles has worked with them extensively.

If anyone can point me toward the news release online, I'd be happy to link to it here.

In the comments, Bob references this article from the Presbyterian News Service. It's good, but doesn't have the bios of the committee members that the PPC release has. But FWIW you can take a look at it.

That's part of it. The PPC had its own release with bios of all the committee members. I would like to link to that for the unique information it contains. I'll go ahead and link to this as a start.
