Music is an important part of worship. Joe will share various music traditions that fill our places of worship in America: traditional worship music, gospel music, spirituals and how they evolved, Mennonite church music, and more. Our American worship music is as varied as our complex immigrant roots and displays the richness of those roots. Many American spiritual traditions spill over into classical and other forms of music including jazz, gospel, blues, rhythm & blues, country, rock & roll, and hip-hop.
