Singapore, St. Andrew´s Protestant Cathedral - "Dear Lord and Father of Manking"

the church is so beautiful. it's really such a pity that they've gone and installed so many of those unsightly tv screens when they aren't really necessary in the nave.

Is it Reformed?

This is a beautiful Cathedral carrying on a very good job of work. I sang in the choir during the sixties and am very pleased that I am in constant communication with a Cathedral member of staff. The choirmaster I remember was a gentleman by the name of Quek who had a wonderful counter tenor voice. After all these years I wish I were still attending at St. Andrew's, they must have done something right - God bless them all.

and not to forget- the ceiling fans slowly turning,- no air conditioning in a very tropical climate- warm & humid.

@dixieflyer95 except there's air conditioning now

@penguinpenguin007 air conditioning in the Singapore Climate is a great addition.

Beautiful Hymn, I well remember hearing "Rock of Ages" being sung in Chinese at the service just before the service in English. We were welcomed and seated up front in comfortable padded pews. And the Geckos running on the walls.

I remember vividly being driven up in a taxi from Keppel Road Docks after sailing for over three months on a container ship (as 3rd Mate) and crying when I saw the cathedral. I hadn't realized how homesick I was.

Then I went to Raffles and got hammered.

This celebrates the 150th Anniversary of the Cathedral. It is also ironic that when we were in St Andrews Cathedral Choir, we celebrated the Cathedrals Centenery. I have the Official Photograph on my Facebook website. Thaks once again!

I was a choirboy at St Andrews Cathedral Singapore as was my brother and sister and also my then future sister-in-law was the organist. We were in the choir from 1957 to 1962 when we left for England. This is a wonderful video and brings back so many happy days of singing for all occasions, being confirmed and Christian Worship. It is also ironic that "Dear Lord and Father of Mankind" was a hymn that I sung in the first service I attended as a choirboy. Thank you for this, it has made my day!
