Rocking Conscience at Church
Tonight I’m talking with Logan Uniting on the topic of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. I’ll be part of a team of three which means I don’t have to worry about sex and drugs! We have 15 minutes to explore an engagement with rock music. Thus the posts this afternoon on backward masking, Hell’s Bells, and Steve Turner’s approach to imagination and the arts. We’ll look at a couple of music video clips to start with. And then consider the assumptions we bring to our engagement with popular culture. Are we called to live in a parallel universe? Or in this world? When Paul talks about the ‘world, flesh and the devil’, what’s he talking about? Why do we talk about ’secular music’ and ‘Christian music’? We’ll touch on the backward masking stuff for interest’s sake. And then finish off with Romans 14. The connections between the environment of Rome and the popular culture scene of the 21st century.
