The adult choir from the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta, under the direction of Donald Milton III, sing "Nearer My God to Thee" in the Khasi language. The choir visited the Khasi Hills in February 2014 and sang at several churches in the Shillong area before they moved on to the city of Jowai, where this performance was recorded. This has been an exciting trip for both the choir and the Unitarian Union of Northern India, and a historic one too -- they are the first American UU choir to visit and sing at these churches.
