Episode 113: 3rd Microphone – S. Africa
We have a special South Africa edition with listener Henning van Rensburg reporting on the spiritual state of things in South Africa along with talk about apologetics, atheism, rugby and Amarula. Â You won’t want to miss this one as the Manly Doctors of Divinity go global.
Gotta love Henning!
I need to find some of that Amarula stuff!
So what does that make Mob Footba?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mob_football
“Beautiful Savior”? Ugh. I seriously think that that hymn is the precursor to “Jesus is Better Than Football”- except instead of singing about how Jesus is better than football, it’s about how He is fairer than pretty spring flowers.
I think the list of top hymns was tabulated through use of Lutheran Service Builder. So it’s not necessarily what Lutherans love to sing, but what Lutheran pastors/worship committees with Lutheran Service Book love to make their people sing.
I’m inclined to agree here. This is hardly a list of the popular favorites, although that list would cause shudders as well.
Evidence that justifies the verdict:

Can you put Henning on on a regular basis. like every 3 to 4 weeks? A good addition would also be a conversation with James May from Lutherans in Africa to get another African perspective. This would also be a way to give a hearty hey-ho to Pr. Fisk.
