Hymn 718 demands embodied salvation – the singer does not just think about grace; they enact the struggle for it. CAC Hymn 718 is not a translation of a Western text. It is an autochthonous creed – a musical summation of Aladura soteriology. Its repetitive cries, pentatonic contours, and direct address to the Spirit reveal a Christianity that has been fully indigenized. For the Yoruba CAC member, singing Hymn 718 is not performance; it is being saved again in real time. cac hymn 718 yoruba

Abstract The Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Hymn Book, Iwe Orin Mimo , represents a unique indigenization of Christian worship. This paper provides a detailed analysis of Hymn 718, examining its Yoruba text, musical structure, theological underpinnings, and its function within the liturgy of Nigeria’s first Aladura (Praying) Pentecostal church. Unlike translated Western hymns, Hymn 718 exemplifies a composed Yoruba hymnody that fuses biblical imagery with indigenous poetic forms, particularly Rara and Ijala chanting traditions. 1. Introduction: The Christ Apostolic Church and its Hymnody The CAC emerged from the Great Revival of 1930 and the prophetic ministry of Joseph Ayo Babalola. Rejecting the Anglican CMS hymnbook (which relied heavily on translated English tunes like St. Thomas or Aberystwyth ), the CAC commissioned its own corpus. By the 1970s, Iwe Orin Mimo (Book of Sacred Songs) contained over 1,000 hymns, many originally composed in Yoruba.
Hello Guest !
We wanted to let you know about a new resource that is now available to all 500Eboard members. This is a comprehensive database of all US-market (and soon to include Canadian-market) 500E and E500 models delivered for the 1992 through 1994 model years.
Data for this resource has been compiled continuously since mid-2003, and much of this information is seeing the light of day for the very first time ever. This new resource will allow you to utilize 500Eboard research and resources to track specific cars, their sale history, documented modifications, and other information that has surfaced over the years.
We are also providing analytics about the cars' production. This means that if you are curious as to how many "Signal Red" cars were produced for the US market with a black interior, specifically in Model Year 1993, you can now easily find this information. You can also find aggregated information -- for example, how many "Black Pearl" cars were imported into the US over the three-year span.
You can always find and enjoy this resource by clicking here (bookmark the site for easy reference!), or by going to the “500Eboard Registry and VIN Database” sub-forum below. You can also find a VIN Database button at the top of your screen, for easy access.
We hope you enjoy this resource. A LOT of blood, sweat and tears over nearly 23 years have gone into its creation.
Cheers,
500Eboard Management
