Rewind the music revolution

[sydneyanglicans.net] 21 Jul 2008--Ross Cobb has observed that contemporary band directors and traditional organists are often at each others’ throats.

In an effort to remove roadblocks to using music for the gospel the St Andrew’s Cathedral’s Music Director is urging people to embrace both traditional and contemporary music.

“Neither should look down their noses at the other. If we are going to reach 10 per cent of Sydney, then it is inevitable that we are going to have to make ‘horses for courses’ decisions and incorporate as many styles of music as there are people. The gospel is bigger than any musical style, be it old or recent”.

Ross believes church ministers can help team building across the musical divide.

“Both sides need to understand each other and develop a common vision: that of reaching the lost… Unity is always a powerful thing for gospel ministry.”
