TOM COLVIN (1925 - 2000) was a retired Church of Scotland minister who resided in Edinburgh. He worked for the church in Africa for 26 years and for 8 years he was minister to a London inner-city community church. He was a member of the ecumenical Iona Community for almost 50 years. As well as being in pastoral ministry in Ghana and Malawi, he helped to found and organize Christian Service Committees in these countries. He was deeply involved in serving Mozambican refugees in Malawa. For some years he was engaged in community development training in Zimbabwe and other parts of Southern Africa. Throughout his ministry he had a deep interest in helping the African Church to fully utilize their own musical heritage in worship and to write hymns appropriate to and arising from the African context. This interest developed into helping to share African hymnody with the world church. Sadly, Tom died of a heart attack on Thursday the 24th of February 2000 in his beloved city of Edinburgh. The hymns he collected and wrote are available from Hope in two volumes; FILL US WITH YOUR LOVE Code No. 431 and COME, LET US WALK THIS ROAD TOGETHER Code No. 1094. Five of his hymns appear in the new Hope hymnal WORSHIP & REJOICE (2001).
