Perhaps because of this “lowest common denominator” dilemma, in the practical sense, there is the undeniable reality that pop “worship music” gravitates to effeminacy, to a soft and airy sound, with no rough edges. The singers are often young, emotive women, which adds to the genre’s “Boyfriend Jesus” vibe.

One of the things that I like about the Gottesdienst Crowd is that we are not advocates for the liturgy because of personal taste or effete sensibilities, or an intellectual devotion to historical marginalia. Pastors and laypeople involved in the life of the church understand that as the blood of Christ is the lifeblood of the Church, Sunday morning Divine Services are the vessels that carry the blood of the Lamb to us.

Hence our name Gottesdienst.
