As a resource musician for church and para-church organizations I’ve written quite a bit of material for congregational singing and Becoming Liturgy is an outlet for just that.  In the spring of 2009 I started recording at Small Circus Studio in NE Minneapolis with Russel Munson at the helm and a wealth of talented friends at the ready.  Over the course of days spread out over months we recorded these 28 songs.
