I was at a meeting with a group of folks from Park Avenue Christian Church and our interfaith partner, Congregation Da’at Elohim, tonight and heard about Joshua Nelson, a Jewish Gospel singer.  Check out his website.

There is something fascinating to me about folks who integrate what appear to be disparate styles, ideas or even spiritual traditions.  After listening to some Youtube clips, I’m not sure exactly how I feel about his music (whether it rings with a sort of deep authenticity) but I love the way he challenges my preconceived notions about who sings what kind of music.  It’s great to know that Gospel music (or any other style of music, for that matter) can become a medium for communication in different spiritual traditions.

Take a listen and let me know what you think.
