Oramos Cantando/We Pray in Song is a bilingual Spanish/English hymnal produced by GIA Publications, Inc. It is a partial hymnal released in anticipation of a full, several hundred song hymnal scheduled for release in 2011. Whilte many of the hymns will be familiar to English-speaking congregations, they may also find some unfamiliar songs.
My church uses this resource to help develop cross-cultural ministry skills, identify with the Hispanic population in our community, and remind us of our brothers and sisters in Christ from the Spanish-speaking world. It is interesting to contemplate the themes that these brothers and sisters have developed as they express their faith in song.
Another excellent source for all sorts of ministry resources in Spanish (including curriculum, commentaries, and hymnals) is EBI – Editorial Bautista Independiente, the Spanish publishing ministry of Baptist Mid-Missions. Their catalog can be accessed through their web site, http://www.ebi-bmm.org
Thanks Tom for the reminder! I agree, EBI is a wonderful resource and ministry and part of our “Regular Baptist Family.”
