As a no-longer Christian, I still find singing Sacred Harp extremely compelling. There is a group that gathers at an LGBTQIA+ affirming baptist church near the University of MN whose meetings I used to join irregularly until my kids were born. Communal singing is powerful by itself and pretty rare in America, but in addition this repertoire/tradition has something raw and real about it that transcends the dogmas of its authors.
