Hymns of All Churches is a quarter-hour American musical radio program that began in 1935 and ended in 1947.
[5] On any given program, a listener might have heard "a rousing old-time Methodist song of praise, ... a thousand-year-old Catholic chant, ... stately Hebrew phrases of an innocent Jewish hymn",[6] or a Confucian hymn that was included in "a beautiful silk-covered volume with Chinese characters inside".
[8] Although the show began on WLW radio,[4] as a network program, Hymns of All Churches originated from WBBM in Chicago.
[3] The program's choir recorded more than 400 favorite hymns for members of the United States armed services.
[11] On September 29, 1935, a minister in New York City criticized commercial sponsorship of religious radio programs in general and Hymns of All Churches in particular.
