  • 2015 Annual Report
    2015 Annual Report 614-297-0533 • [email protected] 677 E. 11th Avenue • Columbus, OH 43211 LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND 2015 BOARD PRESIDENT Dear Friends, During 2015, NNEMAP was faced with formidable challenges, but at the same time experienced exciting blessings. Foremost, the location where we had served since the mid-eighties, the old 3rd Avenue Methodist Church, was sold. Our landlord was Directions For Youth and Families. Their mission of serving local youth had changed as the Short North had gentrified over the years. They decided to sell the building to find another home. Roy Clark Executive The Ingram White Castle Foundation had given us their GROW award in Director 2014 and allowed us to use a portion of their grant for a down payment on a property in South Linden. Our new location had many advantages. It was handicap accessible, had triple the parking, was air conditioned, had a walk- in cooler, was on a bus line, and most importantly moved us closer to the needs of that community. The move was a costly one for NNEMAP. Again, we were blessed to be able to cover all of those costs with the generous support of the Helen Sells Clarkson Foundation at The Columbus Foundation and the Trinity United Methodist Church Foundation. South Linden is a priority neighborhood for the City of Columbus, Mid-Ohio Food Bank, and many other social agencies in the city. This move placed NNEMAP in a great location, at a great time, and an important moment in Jon Bennett our history. We believe with the support of our many churches, other com- 2015 Board munity partners, and valued volunteers that we are poised to make a real dif- President ference in the lives of our South Linden neighbors and other areas we serve.

  • Contemporary Christian Music & The
    PLAYING THE MARKET: CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN MUSIC & THE THEORY OF RELIGIOUS ECONOMY by Jamie Carrick B.A., The University of Calgary, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Religious Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2012 © Jamie Carrick, 2012 Abstract Contemporary Christian music (CCM) is a fascinating and understudied part of the religious vitality of modern American religion. In this dissertation the theory of religious economy is proposed as a valuable and highly serviceable methodological approach for the scholarly study of CCM. The theory of religious economy, or the marketplace approach, incorporates economic concepts and terminology in order to better explain American religion in its distinctly American context. In this study, I propose three ways in which this method can be applied. Firstly, I propose that CCM artists can be identified as religious firms operating on the “supply-side” of the religio-economic dynamic; it is their music, specifically the diverse brands of Christianity espoused there within, that can allow CCM artists to be interpreted in such a way. Secondly, the diversity within the public religious expressions of CCM artists can be recognized as being comparable to religious pluralism in a free marketplace of religion. Finally, it is suggested that the relationship between supply-side firms is determined, primarily, by the competitive reality of a free market religious economy. ii Table of Contents Abstract . ii Table of Contents . iii List of Figures . iv Acknowledgements . v 1 Introduction . 1 1.1 Introduction . 1 1.2 Religion & Popular Culture .

With its origins dating back to the late 1960s, CCM resembles musical styles of popular-secular culture while retaining fundamental Christian values in lyrical content. This historical perspective of CCM marketing strategies, CCM music television, CCM and secular music, arts worlds within CCM, and the science of storytelling in CCM aims to provide readers with the context and understanding of the significant role that CCM plays in modern-day evangelism.
