  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hello,

Anyone else here a fan?

For those of you who haven't heard of it before, it's Christian music in the style of progressive rock - like Yes, Genesis, Rush, Jethro Tull, and bands like that. The music is dense, extremely complicated, and very symphonic. Songs and even whole albums tend to follow complex themes or ideas, but the music itself is often soaring and beautiful. Songs can be long - sometimes as much as 20-25 minutes. A lot of the time the music is based on spiritual ideas, but in the past few years some of the artists have made openly Christian albums.

One good example is Neal Morse - he just released and album called "?" that is based entirely around the tabernacle in the wilderness, and the idea that Jesus was the high priest who took God out of the temple and into the hearts of everyone of us. It's really a very moving and powerful album. has anyone else heard it of heard of Neal Morse?

Here's hoping to find some fellow progressive rock fans....

Grace and peace,

Jason

I am a big fan of Christian progressive rock. Yes, I have heard of Neal Morse and really enjoy his album "One". I have not had the opportunity to listen to "?" yet.

If you like Neal Morse then I would like to recommend a band called Flagship. Flagship plays old school progressive rock with classic rock leanings. Think of Kansas' older material like "Song For America" in that the songs a lengthy, complex and richly orchestrated.

I do not know if progressive metal is your cup of tea, but if so then be sure to check out Theocracy, Revelation Project and Pursuit- three very fine Christian bands with progressive leanings in their music.
