you are singing gospel this is actually gospel choir so is it true that gospel music is really popular only in english speaking countries this natural home things english speaking i've never i've never had a gospel set in french have you or german actually been pretty in sri in the last three or four years their countries like denmark and career i've seen some and sweden i've seen some clips of some pretty impressive gospel corps. are some friends of america the. richest small northern williams these countries seem to embrace the style and good for the world but you know it's pretty popular america but i think other countries are slowly beginning to the can but is this mostly will go there the choirs that you heard seizing them or do they did they do it on stage or they also do it in church i've seen it on stage. i'm not too familiar with the church most countries have singing on stage you are choir belongs to the church of the seventh day adventist do you consider all the choir members to be true believers i think. there are a lot of work in the members of the same church that you're

neil gospel music pop gospel regs are always right you have so many different categories and i like we said a keeps evolving so it went and what's your what's your i think it is contemporary gospel you know the music you do the classical stuff we did last in the state of mind you know music will always reflect what's happening in society so i think they go hand in hand so our society develops and things are becoming more open exposed gospel music will continue to evolve what's your attitude to. using the gospel tradition in pop music with the lyrics and the lifestyle has nothing to do. you know that that could be a argument for the ages you know some people see or feel anything wrong with it as a person truly believes in the gospel of the church represents sometimes it can feel a little bit burgle and saying one thing but a lifestyle and colson's is something totally different so it doesn't feel can bruin's all the time. what so well you mentioned here you mentioned martin music you mention contemporary contemporary guys. well when you listen to music in general well. the reason i ask

, to each one of the gospels. and why? because they develop out of individual communities with a certain purpose and a certain audience. and so right there, you've got the myth happening, but then you've got that doctrinal dimension focusing in - now what was important? reverend williams, that we just saw, he's a luke guy - dare i say it - he's the gospel according to luke. get out there and help those - the samaritan did the right thing, the prodigal son; these are parables unique to luke. he's a luke guy. reverend stowe, who we've met before and we'll meet in the next class, he's a mark guy - he's into, "hey, this world stinks. the apocalypse is coming; get yourself saved so the next life, you'll be in heaven." and i'm being a little crass here, but john's very gnostic; matthew was obviously to a jewish audience. and so even as we get the sacred text, which doesn't always have to happen because we talked to thomas drift, our native american, and he comes from traditions that were perfectly happy to find their wo

christianity was a liberating gospel. and on the basis of that liberating gospel in the woods and in the quarters began to fashion their unique form or brand of christianity. one that empowered them and forced the struggle rather than one that sought to keep them in bondage. so we have this new world religion created here. it's all a product of that new creation fashioned by these enslaved africans during the slavery experience. new world african people also created new foods, new literature, new music and new forms of dance. african cultural forms gave birth to jazz and blues in the united states. the tango in argentina, the somba in brazil, kacarnivals ar embodied with african rhythms. gumbo is one of the thousands of new african new world african foods created here. indeed, few if any american popular cultural forms were influenced by the presence of africans in these americas. so as i said before, if there's any truth to the notion that the americas was a new world, african peoples were central to the creation of the

the thing mentioned it was a response to the gospel movement. was also a response to the use of the historical critical method for understanding the bible in terms of the context in which was written in things like this. you know, there's a great find in the early 20th 20th century evangelist that said that the word of god says one thing and scholarship did something else, then the whole scholarship. obviously that worldview, which will adopt is not very useful for a political system built on dialogue. and so this idea of bringing orthodoxy into the public square -- i would argue it is interesting is the intent to look at abortion but in my mind the important fundamental thing he did as republicans now can view all issues in terms of absolute fundamentalist view. i don't want to pine for the days of democrats can sit down with the national association manufactures in spite of the minimum wage. for grover norquist, it is about ideology and if you disagree, you are not just wrong or have a different interest or perspective. you are a heretic. you

the gospel is, christ died for my sins, and was buried, and rose again.by immersion has always been the biblical way. even those who sprinkle that the ancient, primitive way of baptizing was always by immersion, which is what the word literally means - it means immersed, to immerse. and so if you've truly accepted christ in your heart, we believe that you will follow through with obeying him in being baptized, to show forth to whoever is there, as a witness and a testimony that you have accepted christ, you believe he died for you, he was buried for you, and that he rose again, and you are identifying publicly with christ in his death, burial, and resurrection. this also associates you with god's people - his church - and you're saying, "i'm one of these folks." that's what baptism is about. >> i baptise you my sister in the name of the father, and the son and the holy ghost. >> see, all the elements are in there - huge passage of time, almost 2,000 years, the original leader of christianity is being baptized, maybe in that same spot. there we are the riv

and at the same time, the painters increasingly tried to bring the gospels and the stories of the saintso life before their very eyes. at first, as you can see in this late 13th century saint francis altarpiece, they did it with stiff, imposing figures and with bright, doll-like symbolic scenes and images. and here next door in a much-ruined fresco, i'm afraid, painted probably only 30 or 40 years later, you can see the revolution represented by the art of giotto, the great contemporary of the poet dante. here is a new soft, warm reality, a new humanity and pathos, a new ability to take the faithful back and make them feel that they were actually there and filled with love for this loving saint whose love of christ and love of life and of the beauties of the world wrought a transformation in the spiritual life of europe. [colin eisler] giotto's frescoes gave a new sense of weight to the body, a new sense of urgency to narrative painting. they became an academy for later italian artists. raphael and michelangelo came here to learn from such dramatic images as this, in which saint francis
