Title: A camel is a horse designed by committee
Product review: For Congregationalist churches in the northeast, especially those in southeast Massachusetts, it seems a shame that the UCC, owner of the Pilgrim Press, killed the "Pilgrim Hymnal" to promote this book. For older church members this replacement seems like a lot of the progressive agenda, shoved down our throat whether we like it or not.Our congregation was told by the (liberal) minister that the Pilgrim Hymnal was "out of print" without being told that it was killed to promote this hymnal and without opening up discussion on other (better) choices. Some of those other hymnals are mentioned in Allen Smalling's excellent review.I've looked through the NCH and they lost me at "Nearer my God to YOU (Thee)".
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
