Garth Hewitt

The son of Anglican Reverend Thomas Hewitt and brother of broadcaster, Gavin Hewitt, Garth Hewitt attended St John's School in Leatherhead, Surrey. He graduated from St John's College, Durham in 1968 and from London College of Divinity in 1970. He began his ministry as curate at St Luke's Church in the Diocese of Canterbury and was ordained by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Michael Ramsey, in 1971. Performing and writing songs from an early age, in 1973 Hewitt's musical talent was noted by well-known hymn writer Timothy Dudley-Smith of the Anglican Church Pastoral Aid Society, which then employed him for the next six years to develop his music for the benefit of young people within the church. As his songs became known to Anglican audiences, he played in schools, churches, and larger venues.{{sfn|Hewitt|2018|pages=12–21}}{{Cite book|title=Crockford's Clerical Directory|publisher=Church Publishing House|year=2017|edition=105th|location=London|pages=417}} By age 40 he achieved recognition as "the elder statesman of the British gospel music scene."{{Cite news|last1=Webb|first1=Mike|date=5 June 1987|title=Seeing justice for the poor as a church priority|page=11|work=Church of England Newspaper}}

An early partnership with Sir Cliff Richard was formed in 1977 when Hewitt wrote the music for a film about third world poverty, in which Richard performed, called A World of Difference. Backed by the Christian relief agency, Tearfund, the film featured Hewitt singing the title song "A World of Difference."{{Cite web|title=A World of Difference (1977)|url=https://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b78d0f5af|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210415132504/https://www2.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b78d0f5af|url-status=dead|archive-date=15 April 2021|website=British Film Institute|language=en|access-date=5 May 2020}}{{Cite news|date=21 April 1977|title=Worlds Apart|page=4|work=Acton Gazette|location=London}} The following year Richard provided backing vocals on Hewitt's album I'm Grateful.{{Cite web|title=Garth Hewitt {{!}} I'm Grateful|url=http://www.garthhewitt.org/product/im-grateful/|website=www.garthhewitt.org|date=31 May 2014 |access-date=4 May 2020}} A year later, he produced Hewitt's album Did He Jump... or Was He Pushed?{{Cite web|title=Garth Hewitt {{!}} Did He Jump ... or Was He Pushed?|url=http://www.garthhewitt.org/product/did-he-jump-or-was-he-pushed-2/|website=www.garthhewitt.org|date=31 May 2014 |access-date=4 May 2020}} Richard subsequently covered two tracks from that record. First was the single issued from it, "Did He Jump," which did not chart. Hewitt was ambivalent about its release in any event since the long playing album was his preferred medium as he later recalled.{{Cite book|last1=Turner|first1=Steve|author-link=Steve Turner (writer) |title=Cliff Richard: The Bachelor Boy|publisher=Carlton Books|year=2008|location=London|pages=174}} However, Richard recorded the song live at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1979, when he spoke of Hewitt as "a fine singer-songwriter."{{Cite web|title=Did He Jump|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1qR_bwd4Uw&feature=youtu.be|last1=Richard|first1=Cliff|date=9 June 2016|website=YouTube|access-date=4 May 2020}} The second track was "A World of Difference", which Richard knew from the Tearfund film. He sang it at the Live Aid after‑party at a nightclub in London in 1985.{{Cite web|title=A World of Difference (Live Aid 1985)|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExAcUa5P2rE&feature=youtu.be|last1=Richard|first1=Cliff|date=20 June 2019|website=YouTube|access-date=4 May 2020}} With backing vocals by DJ Kenny Everett, Richard recorded Hewitt's 1981 track "Under the Influence" for the B side of his single "The Only Way Out" in 1982.{{Cite web|title=Under the Influence with Kenny Everett on backing vocals|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdzR-VX2Wrc&feature=youtu.be|last1=Richard|first1=Cliff|website=YouTube| date=12 October 2011 |access-date=4 May 2020}} Richard later added the track to his album Now You See Me, Now You Don't on the album's re‑release in 2002.{{sfn|Hewitt|2018|p=49}}

Hewitt has also worked with an eclectic array of singers, arrangers, and instrumentalists on his records. They include fellow Christian musicians Bryn Haworth and Paul Field, pedal steel guitarist B. J. Cole, gospel singer Jessy Dixon, protest singer-songwriter Martyn Joseph, vocalist Denise Ogbeide, contemporary Christian artist Randy Stonehill, producer and world musician Ben Okafor, Palestinian singer Reem Kelani, folk-rock singer Mark Heard, experimental composer Paul Pilot, pianist and singer Duke Special, and renowned harpsichordist Penelope Cave.{{Cite web|title=Garth Hewitt {{!}} Bio|url=http://www.garthhewitt.org/category/garth-hewitt/bio/|website=www.garthhewitt.org|access-date=4 May 2020}}

Hewitt has regularly toured in Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Poland, US, Belgium, Netherlands, France, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia (once), and Canada (once). He has performed in venues ranging from high security prisons in Singapore and Bolivia to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, after being invited by country singer George Hamilton IV.{{sfn|Hewitt|2018|pages=28–30, 34–35}}

Hewitt sang at several events organised by American evangelist Billy Graham: in 1973 at the UK Spree '73 festival; in 1975 at Eurofest '75, held in Heysel Stadium, Brussels; and in 1980 in evangelistic campaigns at Oxford and Cambridge universities.{{Sfn|Hewitt|2018|pages=21, 20}}

In 1983 Hewitt won wide acclaim in the developing world upon the release of his Indian and African influenced album, Road to Freedom. It featured the track "Namirembe" about a hill in Kampala, Uganda. The track became so popular in that country that the people of Uganda nicknamed him "Namirembe."{{Cite magazine|last1=Darden|first1=Bob|date=28 March 1987|title=Gospel Lectern|page=29|magazine=Billboard|url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Billboard/80s/1987/Billboard-1987-03-28.pdf|access-date=8 May 2020}}

In 1988 he was named International Artist of the Year at the Gospel Music Association's Dove Awards in Nashville. The award was for what the judges said was his many years of commitment to the disadvantaged. One song specifically mentioned was Hewitt's "A Child is the Future" with its concern for children born into poverty.{{Cite news|date=14 May 1988|title=Award for singer|page=4|work=Guildford Times}}

Having been influenced in his early thinking and theology by Martin Luther King Jr, Archbishop Trevor Huddleston, Canon John Collins, Monsignor Bruce Kent among others, Hewitt's invitation by Tearfund to travel with the organisation to Haiti in 1978 confirmed the direction of his music and ministry. From that point he began to focus his understanding of the role of a priest in the context of activism and protest.{{Sfn|Hewitt|2018|pages=24, 56}}

Hewitt traces his awareness of social issues to a sermon he heard as a teenager by Martin Luther King Jr when King was guest preacher at London's St Paul's Cathedral.{{Cite web|title=Chat Room{{Snd}} Garth Hewitt|url=https://www.buzzsprout.com/12102/830093-chat-room-garth-hewitt-singer-songwriter-august-2018|last1=Cheek|first1=John|date=20 June 2017|website=Flame Christian Radio|access-date=8 May 2020|postscript=.

An example of Hewitt using his lyrics for protest and awareness-raising was his song, "You Are Loved Stephen Lawrence", written on the murder of 18-year-old Stephen Lawrence, killed in a racist attack in Eltham, London, in 1993.{{Cite web|title=You are loved Stephen Lawrence, words and music Garth Hewitt|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXvV35qK2oE&feature=youtu.be|date=3 January 2012|website=YouTube|access-date=8 May 2020}} Stephen's mother Doreen Lawrence selected the song as a choice when she appeared on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs.{{Cite web|title=Desert Island Discs{{Snd}} Doreen Lawrence|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b01jqb8t|date=10 June 2012|website=BBC Sounds|language=en-GB|access-date=8 May 2020}} Another instance was his song for American peace activist Rachel Corrie on her death in Gaza in 2003, "Light a Candle in the Darkness."{{Cite web|title=Light a Candle in the Darkness (For Rachel Corrie)|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivURU50xWSc&feature=youtu.be|date=3 March 2018|website=YouTube|access-date=8 May 2020}}

In 1989 Hewitt controversially gave open support to Viraj Mendis, a Sri Lankan refugee who claimed sanctuary in a Manchester church in an attempt to avoid deportation from the UK. While Mendis was there, Hewitt gave a concert in the church to highlight what he considered to be the moral issues.{{Cite news|last1=Blakely|first1=Colin|date=March 1989|title=Sanctuary Man|page=18|work=Today|publisher=Elm House Christian Communications|location=New Malden}}{{Cite news|last1=Gurney|first1=Robin|date=January–February 1990|title=Gospel singer to tour with CMS|pages=6–7|work=Yes|publisher=Church Missionary Society|location=London}}

In 1989–90 Hewitt toured with poet Stewart Henderson and mime artist Geoffrey Stevenson in an interdisciplinary and multimedia show called Broken Image. Sponsored by Tearfund, the production focussed on the plight of the poor in the Philippines. All three performers addressed the issue of poverty, with the Church Times reporting in its review that Hewitt's songs were "full of peace and justice slogans, which had the audience singing along."{{Cite news|last1=Handley|first1=Paul|date=6 October 1989|title=Images to stay in the mind|page=24|work=Church Times}}

In 1974 Hewitt played at the first Greenbelt Festival and was subsequently deeply involved in its development from a Christian music festival to a broad annual Christian celebration of the arts, faith, and justice.{{cite AV media|people=Piper, Pip (Director)|date=2013|title=Greenbelt at 40: The Journey so Far|medium=DVD|publisher=Blue Hippo Media}}

In 1979 Granada TV's weekly programme Pop Gospel selected Hewitt's song "That's Why We're Here" as its theme tune.{{Sfn|Hewitt|2018|p=42}} The following year, Hewitt presented the programme, a light religious musical show aimed at young people, with singer Bernie Flint.{{Cite web|title=Pop Gospel [29/04/80] (1980)|url=https://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b75a20045|website=British Film Institute|language=en|access-date=9 May 2020}}{{dead link|date=October 2023|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} In June 1981 Hewitt joined Southern TV's short-lived religious affairs show, Royle Progress, presented by Reverend Roger Royle.{{Cite web|title=Royle Progress (1981)|url=https://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b7646f02d|website=British Film Institute|language=en|access-date=9 May 2020}}{{dead link|date=October 2023|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} Hewitt's role was to place "the emphasis on youth and music", which he did each week until the programme ceased a month later.{{Cite news|date= 6–12 June 1981|title=Royle Progress|edition=London Thames/LWT|page=35|work=TV Times}}{{Cite news|date= 4–10 July 1981|title=Royle Progress|edition=London Thames/LWT|page=27|work=TV Times|postscript=.

In 1985 Hewitt founded the human rights charity Amos Trust to support his visits to projects in parts of the world where funding would not be available to finance his trips. It had a particular mission to encourage musicians in developing nations to raise their voices in ways that were true to their respective cultures.{{Cite news|date=May 1989|title=Amos helps Garth|page=5|work=The Diocese of Guildford Herald}}

Hewitt named his charity after the Old Testament prophet Amos, who in Amos 5:24 relates God's command to let justice roll on like a river. The trust took this as its credo, the text particularly resonating with Hewitt as it comes immediately after God's rejection of music—the only place in the Bible where this occurs apparently—when it is produced by musicians who ignore the poor.{{Sfn|Hewitt|2018|p=80}}{{Cite web|title=Amos 5|url=https://www.biblica.com/bible/niv/amos/5/|website=New International Version (NIV)|publisher=Biblica|language=en-US|access-date=9 May 2020}}

In the 1990s Amos Trust began organizing trips to the international projects it supports, to introduce people to the problems in different countries, with a view both to enlarging a global understanding of poverty and encouraging activism when visitors returned to the UK.{{Sfn|Hewitt|2018|pages=85–86}}

Hewitt served as director from the trust's inception until 2011 when the Reverend Chris Rose was appointed to the role of director, while Hewitt retained the position of founder.{{Cite web|title=Garth Hewitt {{!}} Amos Trust|url=http://www.garthhewitt.org/amos-trust/|website=www.garthhewitt.org|date=31 March 2012 |access-date=9 May 2020}} In his period as director he was Guildford Diocesan World Affairs and World Mission Advisor from 1994 to 1996. Toward the end of this advisory role he wrote a book for Lent called Pilgrims & Peacemakers, which by way of featuring Palestinian and Jewish mediators, espoused his progressive approach to Christian mission.{{Cite web|title=Pilgrims & Peacemakers: A Journey Through Lent Towards Jerusalem|url=https://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/products/Garth_Hewitt/Pilgrims__Peacemakers_A_Journey_Through_Lent_Towards_Jerusalem/17922/|last1=May|first1=Tony|date=1 August 1996|website=Cross Rhythms|access-date=9 May 2020}}

In 1996 Hewitt started a new job with Christian Aid as Head of the London and South East Team and Area Coordinator for the Westminster area.{{Cite news|last1=Capon|first1=John|date=13 June 1996|title=Gospel troubadour settles in London SE1|pages=8–9, 14|work=Baptist Times|location=London}} During his time with the charity he released a musical, The Feast of Life, for churches to perform during Christian Aid Week to bring attention to the causes supported by the agency. It didn't consist entirely of new material. Some songs were recycled from previous albums. Nevertheless, the musical was widely successful. It was soon performed not only during Christian Aid Week but throughout the year. With churches still reviving the show, it proved a lasting legacy of Hewitt's tenure at Christian Aid. He left the London and South East Team after six years.{{Sfn|Hewitt|2018|pages=91, 95, 90}}

Between 1997 and 2012, at All Hallows-on-the-Wall Church in central London, Hewitt was Guild Vicar, so-called because the church retained links with the ancient guilds, or livery companies as they are also known, found in the City of London.{{Sfn|Hewitt|2018|pages=91–94}} On 4 May 2010, Hewitt was made a freeman of one of these guilds, the Worshipful Company of Carpenters, for leading their annual election day service at All Hallows-on-the-Wall."The Carpenter's Company, a list of the Master, Wardens Court of Assistants, Liverymen and Freemen", 4 May 2010, published by the Worshipful Company of Carpenters, 4 May 2010.

Catering to the traditions of the carpenters was part of a very wide ministry Hewitt conducted at All Hallows that also embraced peace, justice, and art. At one point he brought five charities under the church's roof: Amos Trust, Greenbelt Festivals, Stamp Out Poverty, Art and Christianity Enquiry (ACE), and the Wall Gallery, also known as Wallspace, which they described as "a spiritual home for the visual arts."{{Cite web|title=All Hallows is currently the home of 5 charitable organisations|url=http://www.allhallowsonthewall.org/index.html|date=12 October 2007|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012171519/http://www.allhallowsonthewall.org/index.html|archive-date=12 October 2007|access-date=9 May 2020}}

Hewitt's interest in the work of peacemakers in Israel/Palestine began when he read the best-selling book, Blood Brothers, by the Palestinian-Israeli Abuna, Elias Chacour, and after inviting him to speak to the Greenbelt Festival in 1988.{{Sfn|Hewitt|2018|pages=100–101}} In respect of his support for Palestinians working for peace, on 11 June 2006, the Bishop of Jerusalem, Riah Abu El Assal, made Hewitt a canon of St George's Cathedral in Jerusalem.{{Cite web|title=UK songsmith Garth Hewitt made Honorary Canon in Jerusalem|url=https://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/news/Garth_Honoured/22477/p1/|date=26 June 2006|website=Cross Rhythms|access-date=9 May 2020}} In 2006, the House of Poetry in Ramallah awarded Hewitt a certificate of appreciation for his songs on Palestine, and in 2007, British relief and development agency, Interpal, honoured him during a two-day conference, "Partners for Peace and Development for Palestine", for his commitment to the Palestinian people.{{Cite web|title=Singer-songwriter Garth Hewitt honoured by House of Poetry in Ramallah|url=https://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/news/Another_Honour/22853/p1/|date=17 July 2006|website=Cross Rhythms|access-date=9 May 2020}}{{Cite web|title=Musician receives award for commitment to Palestinians|url=http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/node/6231|date=14 November 2007|website=Ekklesia|language=en|access-date=9 May 2020}} Hewitt is a patron of Palestine Solidarity Campaign.{{Cite web|title=Our Patrons|url=https://www.palestinecampaign.org/about/patrons/|website=Palestine Solidarity Campaign|language=en-GB|access-date=9 May 2020}} And of ABCD Bethlehem (Action around Bethlehem Children with Disability).{{Cite web|title=ABCD's Trustees and Patrons|url=https://www.abcdbethlehem.org/about-abcd/our-trustees-and-patrons|website=Action around Bethlehem Children with Disability|language=en|access-date=9 May 2020}} His writings on the Palestinians include the book Occupied Territories, which one critic describes as "passionate but level-headed."{{Cite web|title=Reflective pilgrims|url=https://www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2015/30-january/books-arts/book-reviews/reflective-pilgrims|last1=Armson|first1=John|date=30 January 2015|website=Church Times|access-date=9 May 2020}}

Hewitt cites as one of his influences Gustavo Parajón, Nicaraguan Baptist pastor and founder of the Council of Protestant Churches of Nicaragua (CEPAD). Through CEPAD, Amos Trust supports various projects in Nicaragua involved with sustainable community development.{{Sfn|Hewitt|2018|pages=41, 56}}{{Cite web|title=Mucking In|url=https://www.amostrust.org/blog/mucking-in/|last1=Hagley|first1=Katie|date=3 May 2018|website=Amos Trust|access-date=9 May 2020}}

Hewitt's earliest encounters with street children were in Brazil, which inspired his protest song "Little Outlaws, Dirty Angels" on his Lonesome Troubadour album in 1991.{{Cite news|last1=Fearon|first1=Mike|date=17 May 1991|title=A musician with a message for the 'me' generation|page=7|work=Church Times}} This led to Amos Trust supporting projects in South Africa: initially Isaiah 58 in East London, then Umthombo in Durban, and eventually Amos Trust's involvement with Umthombo in setting up the Street Child World Cup in 2010.{{Sfn|Hewitt|2018|p=|pp=82–83}}

While at Christian Aid, Hewitt travelled to India to research an album about Dalits, the most marginalised caste in the country. Accompanied by Paul Field, the resulting 11 songs became their album Dalit Drum.{{Cite web|title=Garth Hewitt and Paul Field{{Snd}} The Dalit Drum|url=https://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/products/Garth_Hewitt_And_Paul_Field/The_Dalit_Drum/2473/|last1=Kirk|first1=Trevor|date=4 September 2001|website=Cross Rhythms|access-date=9 May 2020}} Later, Amos Trust became involved in supporting various educational programmes with Dalits in Tamil Nadu in Southern India.{{Cite news|last1=Rose|first1=Chris|date=Winter 2012|title=Hope in India|pages=7–8|work=Amos News}}

Acknowledging the legacy of previous Christian protesters, Hewitt recorded songs from an 1845 hymnal compiled by the Chartists, who campaigned for social justice in Victorian Britain. Containing lyrics but no tunes, the hymn book was discovered by a lecturer in nineteenth-century writing at Manchester University, Mike Sanders, who discussed its egalitarian content in 2012.{{Cite journal|last1=Sanders|first1=Mike|date=2012|title='God is our guide! our cause is just!'
