asana15 16,648 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 A very different and unusual angle from Washington Post. It's a big article, so here's some points in a nutshell: The Gospel according to Lady Gaga "...America and the world will witness not just a pop star but a prominent Christian take the stage at NRG Stadium on Sunday. The prophet and pastor will lead us all in worship. It may not look like your grandparents’ church service, but her values do reflect those of Jesus Christ.." She champions Christian values not of exclusion and discrimination but of empowerment, grace and self-acceptance. Lady Gaga’s most unapologetic hit is also one of the most culturally influential contributions to the theology of human sexuality. “Born This Way” is the hymn for LGBT Christians that is sorely missing from your average church hymnal. Her faith and values shine through not just in “Born This Way,” but throughout her discography. She wears no poker face about her love of God and affirmation of all people bearing the image of God. But some conservative Christians reject her as heretical. The dancing alone is enough to damn her. The secular left doesn’t know what to make of religious progressives, so it largely ignores her Christian identity. But what then do we make of Lady Gaga? The result is that her strong religious and progressive convictions get ignored. Lady Gaga’s faith is not a trend and it’s not something that can be ignored. When was the last time you heard a call to prayer and seek the Lord on Top 40 radio? I bow down to pray I try to make the worse seem better Lord, show me the way To cut through all his worn out leather She not only advances progressive Christian values through her music but also has been the de facto pastor to her Little Monsters. The Little Monsters who flock to her concerts resemble the group of outcasts and misfits who flocked to Jesus. In the American context where churches are more known for committing sexual assault than preventing the epidemic, Lady Gaga’s voice as an influential Christian leader sticks out even more. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2017/02/05/the-gospel-according-to-lady-gaga/?utm_term=.5700da6dfb6c#comments Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
