A week ago today one of my favorite Giants of the Faith, Alton Howard passed away. He was known for his hymnal, "Songs of Faith and Praise" widely used in countless churches (Central). Having founded Howard Publishing and being involved in various ministries (especially at the White's Ferry Road Church in West Monroe, Louisiana), he was known as a champion of singing and worship.
I met Mr. Howard at the Tulsa Workshop several years ago and loved hearing his stories about the changes in church music. Thank you Alton, for bringing new worship music to the Churches of Christ. It allowed a new generation to connect with their Heavenly Father.
