The University Church on Fordham’s Rose Hill campus filled with gospel music as six choirs from throughout the region took part in Psalms in the Night: A Fellowship of Psalms, Hymns and Dancing on Sept. 30.

Organized by Rev. Erika D. Crawford, Fordham’s Protestant chaplain, the second annual event was billed as a “gospelfest” with choirs from the Bronx to Bridgeport, Conn., performing a collection of Christian hymns and spirituals.

The choirs were the All University Gospel Choir from New York University, the Radio Junior Choir from Holy Temple Church in the Bronx, Fordham’s Rhythm of Praise Gospel Choir, the Stony Brook University Gospel Choir, Voices of Victor and Together from the Victory Temple in Bridgeport, Conn.

The event was sponsored by Campus Ministry.
