Prayers for new life

Print Article Email to a Friend

During the Festival of Carols held Nov. 30-Dec. 2, members of the Goshen (Ind.) College Women's World Music Choir sing the song “Denko” from Mali. The song is about a woman who wishes to have a child and about the prayers offered to bring forth new life. The festival, videotaped and edited by students, will air in Indianapolis and northern Indiana on Christmas Day.—Goshen College
