Session 6: Stream 6–Pentecostal Song, Part 1 (21:18)
Overview: The roots of CCM/CWM may be found in the Pentecostal movement that began with the Azusa Street Revival (1906) on the West Coast. This session will explore the transformation of this song throughout the decades, the major theological themes, and the use of this song in worship.
Michael Hawn reflects on the June 2014 worship seminar experience:
The seminar I led in June 2014 on congregational song at IWS was a pure delight. One rarely encounters a group that is so open to learn and thirsty for any information that one can offer. The discourse of the seminar discussion was on a high level offering the opportunity to learn from each other as well as from the professor–just as it should be. I am rarely given this much time to share these ideas and process them in such depth. Thanks for this opportunity IWS alums and friends.
