Sacred Messages in a Secular World: An Interdisciplinary Approach to
Multiculturalism and the Christian Experience
In recent times there has been a push toward building multicultural
churches in order to reflect a unity of faith regardless of racial
difference. Cultural inclusion in the church, however, can require
integrated worship styles which has implications for identity
negotiations in day to day life. Historians, musicologists,
sociologists, and media studies scholars have been central in defining
and describing the manner in which race and Christianity intersect and
sometimes complicate the general worship experience and racial relations
in the United States. This interdisciplinary book focuses on the
construction, interpretation and impact of Christian messages in the
form of music, film and television, and any other form of technology. We
invite chapters that examine these forms of messaging and/ or its impact
on the consumer, congregations, and church relations as it pertains to
race and culture. Industry professionals and scholars from a diversity
of content areas and methodologies are encouraged to submit an abstract
by July 10, 2016.
