NEWTON, Kan. — Creators of a musical about the life and teachings of Christ have resurrected the work with hopes of reaching an even wider audience than they did nearly a decade ago. Instead of going on tour, this time the script and score are available for lease, and a studio recording was just released.
Representatives from MennoMedia, Mennonite Church Canada and Mennonite Church USA laid the foundation for a new song collection at an April meeting in Minneapolis.
The collection will include an electronic version as well as other supporting products.
The new volume will replace the 1992 Hymnal: A Worship Book, which succeeded the 1969 Mennonite Hymnal.
