Word & Song is the place to go for meditations on the beauty and sometimes the wildness of the English language, on English poetry and hymns, and on the sometimes forgotten gems of the Golden Age of film. What’s a teacher but someone who says, “Come, look at the great thing I’ve found!” Well then, we’ll be looking at — and listening to — some great things!
I came across this daily newsletter halfway through Advent and it was a delightful accompaniment to the season.
I've continued reading it through this year. Every day I'm treated to the latest entry in one of the categories like Word of the Week, Hymn of the Week, Movie of the Week, and much more. They are short but substantial. And they continually beautiful art to illustrate whatever overall point is being made. They are a refreshing start to my day and a touch of beauty to carry with me.
They truly are fulfilling their mission recently stated in asking readers to spread the word:
We do genuinely hope to reach as wide an audience as possible with our daily dose of things good, beautiful, and true, a push back in an uplifting way against the distressing, ugly, and false messages that all of us have to face down every day in our benighted* times.
I've had several conversations lately with people who are disheartened by the state of our popular culture. Here's one of the remedies. Check it out.
