Food for thought:

Does the 'Christian Music Genre' Still Exist?

"Does the ‘Christian music genre’ still exist?”

One of the nation’s top U.S. evangelical schools will pose this and other questions at an upcoming two-day journalism conference.

On Thursday and Friday, “Music and Media: Where does faith fit?,” hosted by the journalism department of Biola University, will try to discuss how Christian music fits in today’s mainstream media while at the same time offering students skills to move into the music industry...

...Several Christian artists have had their beginnings at Biola, including groups the Cold War Kids, Thrice and The Colour, all who went on to sign with major record labels.

As reported by Biola, the private Christian university in La Miranda, Calif., “provides Evangelical students with biblically centered education, equipping them in mind and character to impact the world for the Lord Jesus Christ in any professional setting.”

The conference officially began at 9:30 a.m. Thursday with the first session starting at 10:45 a.m. It will end Friday with a musical performance and a contest awards announcement.

You've found some good thought-provoking material lately, Spidey.

I have a feeling we will have two completely different camps on this subject matter.
