The American Department's broadcasting week begins at 8:00 a.m. on Sundays with this program devoted to gospel music. The greatest emphasis is placed on the golden age of African-American gospel, the 1940's and 1950's, but an effort is made to present gospel in all its varieties, including the Anglo-American and Caribbean traditions. In addition to its dedication to classic recordings, Amazing Grace utilizes its pre-church time-slot to stay in touch with local performers as well.
