New Music for a New Christianity: The Convergence Music Project

Last updated on: June 24, 2016 at 12:37 pm By Deborah Arca

“For decades now, we’ve been having “worship wars,” where we argued about musical style in public worship but didn’t pay much attention to the content and spiritual formation value of the songs we argued about. Convergence Music Project represents a “worship renaissance,” bringing together a new generation of songwriters who are writing songs that are theologically thoughtful, artistically satisfying, congregationally singable, and musically enjoyable.” -Brian McLaren Launched earlier this year in collaboration with The Center for Progressive Renewal and the...

Viewing “The Walking Dead” Through a Theological Lens

Last updated on: June 6, 2016 at 3:03 pm By Guest Contributor
