Description: 
“Indigenous hymns involve Christians using their ‘heart music’ system as well as their ‘heart language’ system. Many factors influence the creation of indigenous hymns, and their subsequent acceptance or rejection. These factors go beyond the sound of the songs to include such issues as individual and community attitudes, prestige and status, context of the songs’ creation, influence of Western music, involvement of recognized authorities, and culture change.”
