- Hello,
- I have just joined the forum and wanted to ask a question about the lack of congregational engagement in hymns. I have recently returned to the UK from Germany, and was shocked by how poor congregational hymn singing in London (and to a lesser extent engagement with the ordinary of the mass) has become. I have visited several central London Churches at their mass with hymns, and several suburban churches and I would estimate that less than 10% of the congregation sings. How have things got to this dreadful state?Someobody suggested it was a "London" thing but I have visited churches in Bristol and Derby, and things there were just as bad.Are there any Catholic churches - particulalry in London - where congregational hymn singing has been embraced?
- Please help
- I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
