Voicing All Our Praise: Vineyard and Musical Communities of Practice

What is it about?

What does it mean for contemporary worship music (CWM) to be an authentic expression of worship for musicking communities? CWM has received numerous critiques and criticisms over the years, yet continues to draw people into congregations that 'music' in this way. Rather than seeing CWM as simply individualistic, trite, and repetitive, I argue that CWM facilitates internalization of relating with God, embodiment of worship itself, and contemplation of the divine within the context of community.
