How do we sing the songs of Zion while sitting on the banks of the river in Babylon? Israel captives asked this question thousands of years ago as exiles and foreigners in a land they didn’t recognize or like. The question is a good and relevant one for us in today's world.

Using one particular example we will explore how we can engage our culture in genuine and relevant ways without giving into the temptation of assimilation or the alluring safety of defensive separation. It’s time to sing again.
