About the presentation:
Venez joindre vos voix aux lointains échos des « doux chanteurs d’Israel » ! Aya et Joris nous présentent dans cette vidéo l’histoire fascinante de la communauté Labadistes, movement religieux du XVIIe siècle, et celle de leurs hymnes longtemps oubliés.

Join your voices with the poignant echoes of the « sweet singers of Israel », last heard in New York City over 300 years ago! Aya and Joris will introduce us to the fascinating story of the Labadist movement of the 1600´s and their beautiful hymns so long neglected.

About Saint-Esprit:
Worship at Saint Esprit reflects the diversity and enthusiasm of our members. We are Huguenots and Episcopalians, Africans, Asians, Europeans, and Native Americans, cradle Christians and the newly baptized. Everyone is welcome to receive Holy Communion, regardless of denominational affiliation. Our prayers, sermons and hymns are in French, and we use the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, which was first translated for use by our parish in 1802, and elements from our other traditions.
