Lavender Light Gospel Choir is the oldest lesbian and gay gospel choir in the world, dedicated to keeping the black gospel music tradition alive. What an honor to have them sing their songs of peace and progress at our Home Office on the week of Juneteenth, as we close out Pride month.

What are the criteria for the proper use of singing and music in liturgical celebrations? Since song and music are closely connected with liturgical action they must respect the following criteria. They should conform to Catholic doctrine in their texts, drawn preferably from Sacred Scripture and liturgical sources. They should be a beautiful expression of prayer. The music should be of a high quality. Song and music should encourage the participation of the liturgical assembly. They should express the cultural richness of the People of God and the sacred and solemn character of the celebration. "He who sings, prays twice" (Saint Augustine). Further reading: CCC 1156-1158, 1191

Worship Journal - Entry #6 - Lavish Worship (Part 2) I personally know an entire population of astounding artists and creatives who have been directed, and even trained to CHASE culture - when what they have inside of them is the God-given ability - and anointing - to CHANGE culture! It is devastating to me to think about all the profound and beautiful music that has never been made for God because of the restrictions and demands of American Christianity and the Christian Music Industry. What’s behind this artistic suppression? Is it ignorance? Is it mistrust? Is it that the Church’s sense of control is being threatened? Why are we attempting to worship God with shallow mediocrity when we have Divine access to offer Him immeasurably more? Maybe we’re afraid of what might happen if we allow God’s unfathomably creative Spirit to be poured out among us. Like Cain, I believe the contemporary Church and Christian Music Industry have held back the best of our worship music. As a result, our powerful and artistic gifts have been diminished. We have been reduced to writing and playing worship music that has little to no substance. My brothers and sisters, I think it’s safe to say, with regard to contemporary worship music, the American Church has lost its art and soul. Using the Temple as a metaphor, much of today’s worship music only leaves us standing in the Outer Courts. I believe this music is ill-equipped to lead our hearts to the Altar of sacrifice. I don’t believe it is capable of bringing us into the LORD’s Sanctuary - The Holy Place. And I most certainly don’t believe it is what we would be performing, singing, or playing in The Most Holy Place - before the very Presence of Almighty God! My fellow worshipers, in my spirit, I hear God saying once again, “Let my people go, so that they may worship me.” Can you hear it? It is time for us to revive the lost splendor of art in our worship music, to reinstate the LORD’S singers, songwriters, and musicians to their priestly roles, and to re-ignite the Divine purposes for music so that we can once again LAVISH God with LAVISH gifts of worship, and usher in the sound of Heaven!

Humanist and atheist associations should consider organizing beyond-belief musical festivals. They should stage irreligious musical talent hunts in schools, colleges, and universities and help young humanists and non humanists, as the case may be, realize their artistic gifts. Humanists should commit to furthering and promoting music and songs beyond belief in Africa. https://lnkd.in/dkHpCNX3
