Come to the Feast: Progressive, Inclusive Christian Music
The music of Come to the Feast is Christian, but youâll probably never hear it on Christian radio. âBroadcasters donât want to play songs about how the church is racially divided, or homophobicâ he says. âThey canât afford to tick off their right-wing base. Homeless people inviting the rest of us to Holy Communion? Wisecracks about not waving the Bible like a flag? The church can learn from gay Christians? That stuffâs just not gonna make it onto the usual CCM playlist.â
But goading the Christian right isnât the point, heâs quick to say. âIâm not writing and performing primarily against anyone,â he says. âIâm just writing the way I see it. The music is my perspective, my faith, the things that Iâm for.â
What is he for, then? âWell, the song âT.A.M.B.O.â says that Iâm for a church that really lives out Jesusâ prayer ââ¦that they all may be one.â âGarments of Loveâ says that Iâm for standing with the kids who get picked on, for reaching across boundaries like race, class and sexual orientation. âAll for Loveâ says that Iâm for a positive, spiritual approach to sexuality. And the title track, âCome to the Feast,â says that Iâm for churches that practice extravagant welcome.
The Come to the Feast CD is a compilation of songs that Christopher wrote for regional and national church events over the course of a decade. Most of the songs are written get people singing, and they usually succeed. âIâve gotten hilarious letters from youth leaders,â he says. âThey say things like, âThank you so much for writing âFruits of the Spirit,â which our youth group sang over and over in the van, ALL THE WAY FROM SOUTH CAROLINA TO OREGON.â Iâm glad itâs a fun song, but I feel pretty sorry for those youth leaders.â
Christopher has played in coffee houses, camps, churches, and on college campuses from the Carolinas to the Dakotas, from New York City and New Hampshire to Kansas and Colorado. Presently he is based in St. Louis, where he lives with his family. He is an ordained minister of the United Church of Christ, currently teaching preaching and worship at Eden Seminary.
