'Shake it out for Jesus': Churches co-opt hip-hop. According to this article, even Lutherans are discovering hip-hop. I haven't been to a hip-hop "church" service, but I have been to youth camp services that were hip-hop. The article mentions a book being released by Efrem Smith and Phil Jackson called The Hip-hop Church: Connecting With the Movement Shaping Our Culture. I haven't read the book yet, but I will be interested to see what it says.
What do you think the chances are that at one of our PCUSA General Assemblies, we will have a moderator leading worship chanting:
"Put your hands in the air! Wave 'em like you just don't care! Come on now, come on now!"
