Inshallah
Inshallah is a community choir of more than 130 voices, gathering from across campus and throughout Waterloo Region, singing songs of praise and prayer, of joy and lament, from around the world. It’s a fun and welcoming space where multifaith and multicultural diversity is explored through music at rehearsals, public gatherings and workshops.
Martin Luther University College (formerly Waterloo Lutheran Seminary) funds Inshallah, which falls under the leadership of Debbie Lou Ludolph, the director of the school’s Kanata Centre for Worship and Global Song, with the help of a volunteer advisory committee.

New Voices Welcome
Inshallah meets weekly on Tuesdays from 5:00 to 6:20 p.m. at Knox Presbyterian Church, 50 Erb St. W. in Waterloo, during the Fall and Winter academic terms. New members are welcome to join during the first two weeks of each term. There are no auditions to join Inshallah.
Every member, new or continuing, registers each term and pays a registration fee, as they are able. Each member needs a copy of both Inshallah songbooks. For more information and specific details, contact Kathryn at admin@inshallah.ca.
In particular, we focus on songs from the global south, but also sing Canadian hymns and new songs that are written for our group in an effort to define our Canadian contribution to global song. We have a team of instrumentalists who accompany and sing with Inshallah.
Inshallah's Sing the Journey Deep songbook is available online from the Luther Store and main office and by contacting admin@inshallah.ca.
Our goal is to make all activities fully accessible to members. Rehearsal space is wheelchair accessible, and we make every effort to ensure performance venues are wheelchair accessible.
Out of consideration for those who have scent allergies or sensitivities, we ask members to refrain from using scented products during rehearsals, retreats and concerts.
If you have allergies, please adjust your seating to accommodate your needs. Let us know if there is any other way to assist you.
