Prince of Peace in a Can

Prince of Peace in a Can April 27, 2006

Not every member of the congregation will approve, but at least it solves the problem of who will play the organ. The Hymnal Plus, a karaoke-like machine with a repertoire of almost 3,000 hymns and psalms, is becoming a must-have item at churches around the country.

As well as traditional songs of praise, the British-made machine can play a disco version of Amazing Grace and a jazzy adaptation of The Lord’s My Shepherd. Church-goers who struggle to remember the words can look up at a big screen for help, just like real karaoke.

Oh, then …

And clergy beware, the Hymnal Plus can also lead parishioners in prayers and recite pre-recorded sermons.

More.
