| Description | This book provides background information on the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Papua New Guinea, particularly the role that music plays in the church as a whole. From the beginnings of the mission in PNG in 1908, a panoramic outline of Adventist missions in the country and their hymns is presented. All known SDA hymnals produced in PNG are considered. Noticeable are the attempts of the missionaries to introduce a foreign culture against the backdrop of the country's traditional musical heritage. The study examines church music practices and the attitudes of members and leaders towards aspects of worship music, providing analytical material for the fruition of an indigenously conceived church-music style. |
