  • Christian Rock Concerts As a Meeting Between Religion and Popular Culture

    Christian Rock Concerts As a Meeting Between Religion and Popular Culture

    ANDREAS HAGER Christian Rock Concerts as a Meeting between Religion and Popular Culture Introduction Different forms of artistic expression play a vital role in religious practices of the most diverse traditions. One very important such expression is music. This paper deals with a contemporary form of religious music, Christian rock. Rock or popular music has been used within Christianity as a means for evangelization and worship since the end of the 1960s.1 The genre of "contemporary Christian music", or Christian rock, stands by definition with one foot in established institutional (in practicality often evangelical) Christianity, and the other in the commercial rock music industry. The subject of this paper is to study how this intermediate position is manifested and negotiated in Christian rock concerts. Such a performance of Christian rock music is here assumed to be both a rock concert and a religious service. The paper will examine how this duality is expressed in practices at Christian rock concerts. The research context of the study is, on the one hand, the sociology of religion, and on the other, the small but growing field of the study of religion and popular culture. The sociology of religion discusses the role and posi- tion of religion in contemporary society and culture. The duality of Chris- tian rock and Christian rock concerts, being part of both a traditional religion and a modern medium and business, is understood here as a concrete exam- ple of the relation of religion to modern society. The study of the relations between religion and popular culture seems to have been a latent field within research on religion at least since the 1970s, when the possibility of the research topic was suggested in a pioneer volume by John Nelson (1976).

Courtesy of the artist. NFS In the site-specific video installation Un día como hoy (A day like today), Almonte uses abstracted footage, sounds, and voiceover to create a portrait of her grandmother to shed light on the U.S. exploitation of Puerto Rican women for the non-consensual and hazardous clinical trials of the first U.S. birth control pill, Enovid, in the 1950s. The clinical trials of Enovid are part of a long history of forced sterilization and reproductive coercion in the U.S. that includes programs under Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1936 Puerto Rican Relief Administration, which targeted low income, unemployed and uneducated women who were coerced to comply in order to obtain work in the burgeoning needlework and textile industries. Enovid research and trials were conducted under the guidance of legendary birth control activist and Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger. Un día como hoy is an historical reminder of our current moment, as evidenced by recent news of the forced sterilization of immigrant women by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) exposed by Dawn Wooten, a licensed practical nurse at the Georgia ICE detention facility.

    The Anti-Lynching Crusaders: a Study of Black Women’S Activism

    THE ANTI-LYNCHING CRUSADERS: A STUDY OF BLACK WOMEN’S ACTIVISM by TIFFANY A. PLAYER (Under the Direction of Diane Batts Morrow) ABSTRACT In June 1922, the Anti-Lynching Crusaders created a mass social movement, led by black women, to eradicate lynching. Over the course of six months, ALC leaders, under the auspices of the NAACP, mobilized a network of experienced club and church women to harness the anger and vulnerability of the black community into a viable reform endeavor, to influence the moral consciousness of white Americans and to secure passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Led by veteran clubwoman, Mary Burnett Talbert, members used prayers, newspaper ads, and community gatherings to compel its biracial audiences to broaden their view of lynching from a regional race problem to an issue of national import. They also pledged to raise one million dollars and mobilize one million supporters. The ALC used religious and moralistic language to refute any rationale for race violence. Their efforts succeeded in broadening the base of anti- lynching supporters. INDEX WORDS: Anti-Lynching Crusaders, Black women’s reform, Anti-Lynching Reform, NAACP, Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, Mary B.

Due to the genre’s flexible nature, many Christian artists over the years have used vague imagery and secular lyrical content to find favor among mainstream outlets. This study examined the most recent ten-year period of CCM to determine its ability to cross over into the mainstream music scene, while also assessing the impact of its lyrical content and genre on the probability of reaching such mainstream success. For the years 2008-2018, Billboard data were collected for every Christian song on the Hot 100, Hot Rock Songs, or Hot Country Songs in order to detect any noticeable trend regarding the rise or fall of CCM; each song then was coded for theological language. No obvious trend emerged regarding the mainstream success of CCM as a whole, but the genre of Rock was found to possess the greatest degree of mainstream success. Rock also, however, was shown to have a very low tolerance for theological language, contrasted with the high tolerance of Country.

As the sole professional African American theatre in Minnesota, Penumbra carries forth a long, proud tradition of providing career-building opportunities to theatre practitioners of color, both on and off-stage. Penumbra has produced all ten of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson’s Century Cycle plays, cementing his renown as one of the most important playwrights of modern time. Penumbra Theatre’s production history spans the depth and breadth of the African American theatrical canon, illuminating pioneers such as Lorraine Hansberry (A Raisin in the Sun, Les Blancs) and Charles Fuller (A Soldier’s Play, Zooman and the Sign), genre-bender Ntozake Shange (Spell #7, for colored girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf), late 20th century stalwarts August Wilson and Pearl Cleage (Flyin’ West, Blues for an Alabama Sky), and emerging stars such as Katori Hall (The Mountaintop) and Dominique Morisseau (Sunset Baby, Detroit ’67). Langston Hughes’ Black Nativity signifies the cornerstone of Penumbra’s contribution to the black musical theatre tradition.

    Welcome to the New York State Senate Women of Distinction Exhibit MARCH 2013 Dear Friends: Women have been prominent in shaping our American history. To celebrate these women, and in recognition of Women’s History Month, the New York State Senate developed the Historic Women of Distinction exhibit. Every March, we celebrate famous women in several disciplines whose contributions have earned them recognition as New York’s Historic Women of Distinction. The Women of Distinction exhibit features historic New York Blankwomen, from suffragists to geneticist, labor organizer to entertainers, whose contributions are still felt today and who stand as an inspiration to the next generation of inventors, explorers and achievers. Some of the women in the display include Susan B. Anthony, Lucille Ball, “Grandma Moses” Robertson, Harriet Tubman, Emma Willard, among others, all with strong links to New York State. Women’s History Month is a time to reflect on the enormous contributions of great women from our past. The Women of Distinction exhibit highlights just a few of these extraordinary women and demonstrates the indelible mark that they have made on our great state. Established in 1998, the Women of Distinction program was created to recognize the historic contribution of New York women who exemplify personal excellence, courage, selflessness, integrity and perseverance and serve as an example to all New Yorkers. The Senate’s Historical Women of Distinction is an annual celebration that coincides with national Women’s History Month, observed in March. We hope you will take the time to enjoy our exhibit and marvel at the accomplishments of our fellow New Yorkers.

Said TobyMac regarding the album title: "I want my music to depict what I'm going through. I want to write about the things that upset me, move me, hurt me and haunt me. The things that are real. With Tonight, I was determined to live more passionately with God. I was laying down the gauntlet. Eye On It is a continuation of that. It's saying, 'This is the person I want to be and I'm going to keep my eye on it, God willing!'" TobyMac "Tonight" The ascension of TobyMac's solo career has been nothing short of spectacular. In an era of declining music sales he has consistently defied the odds and has seen his sales increase with each new album release. This is no small feat. With his fourth studio album TONIGHT released on Feb. 9, he is poised to take things higher yet again. Having climbed the mountain once with the group dcTalk (4 Grammys, more than 8 million albums sold), TobyMac knows how difficult the journey can be and how much work the process actually takes. Rarely does an artist get to soar to great heights for a second time, but soar he has. He took home his first Grammy as a solo artist last year after receiving Grammy nominations for each of his first four solo projects (Momentum, Welcome To Diverse City, Portable Sounds, Tonight).
