Favorite Episcopal Hymns

You might find it interesting to inquire more deeply into the question of whether church hymns—or at
least the ones used in certain denominations—reinforce notions of masculinity or femininity. One way to
do this would be to take every twentieth hymn out of a denominational hymnal. However, not all hymns
are equally popular. You will find below the most popular hymns in the Episcopal Church in the United
States, as revealed from a survey conducted in 1989. Below, you will find the most popular hymns in the
