The Psalters: A culture's climate usually goes hand in hand with the art and music that comes out of it. It is no surprise than, that the richest, most comfortable, luxurious culture in history is currently producing volumes of apathetic, boring, complacent, self-focused pop (popular) art that models itself on corporate techniques and advertising. In our journeys trying to understand the struggles of the oppressed and the refugee, we have seen and felt and heard that the most passionate, transformative music comes when people are forced to leave the dominant culture, walk together in pain, enter into it and reflect about hope as a community. What does this say then about our "Christian nation" and its multi-million dollar "Christian" music industry and thousands of worship artists? Let us listen.
