it is the one case where we can say that the medium and the message are fully one and the same."

[Live Video] Church Music: My 2 Cents
In the sixteenth video of Adam Niven' s #FBLiveVideoChallenge for Media Theology Adam tackles the often risky subject of Church Music giving his 2 cents on where things are at, and what could be better
[Live Video] Bullet with Butterfly Wings: My 2 Cents.
With today's live video I've decided to start a new category for my blog and live videos: #MyTwoCents. Pretty much I'll be giving a few thoughts on any piece of content that people might suggest to me - and some no one suggests but that I think deserve a mention. Check out the first one below, and leave a comment if you'd like me to respond to a movie, song, book, whatever.
Music Speaks in Volumes - but "Worship" Speaks in Monotones.
This last week has been a bittersweet one for me with the official announcement that Showbread is showdead. But as I sat and watched the documentary they released of their 10 year anniversary show, there was something really confronting that stood out to me. In one section of the doco, as a whole lot of those waiting to be let into the show were interviewed.Again and again they spoke of finding a sense of belonging in the music of Showbread, and an expression of Christian faith that resonated with them, that they couldn't find in the Church.
Which made me think, is "worship" music really just speaking in monotones, when their is such a range of expressive tones that could be embraced?
