United Church of God Joins Up With God's Only Doubly Blessed True Leader To Create New Hymnal


Those aging but fun guys sitting at United Church of God's headquarters are starting to let their ecumenical side come forth!  James Malm will be FURIOUS!  They have joined forces with Almost Arrested Doubly Blessed Bob Thiel to help the Continuing Church of God develop a new hymnal for its members in Africa.

The Chief Overseer writes:
It has taken a lot longer than we originally hoped, but finally we were able to approve a proof of The Bible Hymnal in the language of Kiswahili today. 
We would like to thank Aaron Dean, Mark Graham, and others at the United Church of God for their cooperation in providing us their translated music files.  
The African people have been abused for centuries by over zealous missionaries placing Western versions of what they think Christianity should look like upon them.  Now they will be subjected to the tunes of Dwight Armstrong. May God have mercy upon them.

    The ol' Purple Joykiller! Wonder if "Praise Ye the Lordo" comes out any better in the African language. Dwight had no sense of rhythm!

    I've heard an African choir sing one of their native hymns about Moses, one of the neat cultural enrichments that occasionally happens as a result of the big resources of the dreaded "mega-church", and compared to that, the Dwight Armstrong hymns are going to come off as an awful white paternalistic buzz kill for Thiel's African church members. To gain a frame of reference, the work that Paul Simon did with African musicians several years back would be a great way to become aquainted with African music. Paul Simon knew to keep the original African flavor.

    And, of course, you have to wonder if the controversial UCG cows that ended up with the COGaWA, when the African members jumped ship are now part of Thiel's work! Mooo!

    Just appalling that Thiel is trying to impose this particular heretical religion upon Kenyans. Kenyans deserve to be treated with respect and dignity instead of getting ensnared in Theil's self aggrandizing drivel.
