Now available as part of Songs for the Holy Other
We’re proud to share a new video recorded at the Second Monday singing in Baltimore: a heartfelt performance of Love Astounding, a hymn by Jeannette Lindholm set to the beloved tune Holy Manna. This video is part of the Songs for the Holy Other project, a growing collection of inclusive congregational songs affirming LGBTQIA2S+ people in faith communities and sacred music traditions.
🎥 Watch the video below
This performance took place in January 2025 at Four Hour Day Lutherie and was made possible by the participation of many dedicated local singers, with thanks to Topher Lawton for scoring the arrangement. It is one of several videos being released by the Hymn Society as part of their ongoing work to amplify the Holy Other collection.
