Brian McLaren on Worship Industry

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

Brian McLaren has made a video with The Work Of The People on the worship industry.

Brian talks about the trap many worship leaders find themselves in, trying to serve the needs of sophisticated consumers of worship products and prefabricated worship experiences.

He concludes that there’s a difference between propaganda and art. Art can be about telling the truth - even if it’s not pretty. Being honest about the ugliness of life can be a beautiful thing. But trying to make everything look pretty makes it look cheap.

I agree. But the most difficult art is supporting people in the transition from the safety of the ‘worship industry’ culture to the sometimes threatening environment of honest worship.
