Unexpected Perspective on Worship

I’ve been prepar­ing to teach some ses­sions at Reach The U (a con­fer­ence for new cam­pus min­is­ters) and I just read one of the most unex­pect­ed lit­tle para­graphs while dig­ging through some research:

Across the Unit­ed States, Asian Amer­i­can groups are pio­neer­ing a revival of a cap­pel­la singing. On West Coast col­lege cam­pus­es, Kore­an Amer­i­can evan­gel­i­cals are known for their cut­ting-edge praise music. Stu­dents of oth­er eth­nic­i­ties com­mon­ly note, “Oh, the Kore­ans have a great wor­ship team.” Indeed they do. Although Asian Amer­i­can evan­gel­i­cals’ praise is large­ly sim­i­lar to oth­er evan­gel­i­cals, it is often more cut­ting edge. They use the lat­est praise music com­ing out of the Unit­ed King­dom as well as the Unit­ed States—before the oth­er cam­pus min­istries do the same. They tend to use more mod­ern musi­cal instru­ments like elec­tric pianos, bass, and gui­tar than some of the oth­er tra­di­tion­al­ly white-dom­i­nant cam­pus min­istries.
