Music is not all of worship, “worship” doesn’t just mean music. Many people recognize that, although we keep falling into the trap of describing music as worship…
So where (at Connection 09) are the discussions of music? I don’t just mean repertoire; I mean, where’s a workshop
a) discussing the current fashions/trends in songwriting and whether they’re healthy.
b) teaching a high standard of lyrical writing and theological integrity?
c) the ‘great old’ items of covenant musical and liturgical history
d) how to develop musical authenticity in missional or multiculturalchurch planting (heaven knows we don’t want them all adopting an American musical vernacular!)
Maybe they’ll be happening at Midwinter proper?
Oh, I met Matt Lundgren. A really good guy, by all accounts. For me, he was the same off-stage as on, very humble and helpful.
