Gordon College 2010 Baccalaureate Address - Carol Cymbala

On Friday, May 14, Carol Cymbala, founder and director of the world-renowned Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir in New York, spoke at the 5 p.m. Baccalaureate Service in the A. J. Gordon Memorial Chapel.
Though she cannot read or write music, Carol Cymbala began the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir with nine people in the early 1980s. Since their first performance, the choir-which is comprised of attorneys, former street people, nurses and ex-crack addicts from various ethnic and economic backgrounds-has grown to 250 voices and gained international acclaim and attention. She has received five Dove Awards and six Grammys and composed hundreds of songs, 51 of them recorded on over 23 albums, and many translated into languages such as Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, French, Portuguese and various African dialects.

God chooses the weaker things of the world and makes them strong so that His name is glorified in them. I watched you blossom since 82’ on Flatbush Ave. I admired you from a distance 😍🎹🙏🏾
