The good folk at Escondido URC invited me to speak for their Reformation Day celebration. Since it’s the 450th anniversary of the Heidelberg Catechism (this is the Heidelblog, after all) I spoke on the some of the personalities behind the catechism and some of the challenges faced by the framers of the catechism. I was able to capture a bit of the singing beforehand so I included it so you could get a sense of the context. We sang three psalms (46, 68, and 78). The clip of the singing you hear is a  setting of Psalm 46 (to Ein Feste Burg) in the 1959 Psalter-Hymnal.
