I remember singing the hymn Jerusalem when I was a child at school during their Morning Assembly.
It is simply beautiful and as one of your other conributors said haunting and I add a very moving hymn.
For the church to try and ban it because there is not enough emphasis to God is very one sided.

When I was a child, my parents were always dragging me to see “Films” (with a capital F). Let’s just say there were very few other 10-year olds watching Gandhi in the theater. The first time I can recall hearing Jerusalem was during Chariots of Fire. I was a child, and yet that song (and the rest of the soundtrack) was so hauntingly beautiful, it’s remained with me all these years. It is too sad that the Church wants to ban it. It makes my spirit soar!

Thanks for the great post – I enjoy your blog and will check back again.
