Possibly a gender-neutral variant of sung with the past tense de-emphasized so as not to bring shame on those younger congregants who couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, except when drums are beating.

Brought to you by the same grammarians who invented social distancing, parenting and doxing I would guess.

There's something Orwellian about this trend toward coining words that are neither fish nor foul, leaving most of us outside their exclusive circle pretty much in the dark, wouldn't you say?

Maybe the writer is not a native speaker of English.

In my church, the choir directors (I am one) choose the songs. If our pastor likes the music, he says so, and if he doesn't, he shrugs.

He has authority over everything to do with the liturgy, but music doesn't especially interest him.
