| Summary: | Worship across the Racial Divide: Religious Music and the Multiracial Congregation by Gerardo Marti will surprise scholars and church practitioners who have focused on the acoustics of worship music and overlooked the underlying practices of interaction that stimulate successfully diverse congregations. Marti concisely articulates the guiding research question in the introductory chapter, “How do music and worship ‘work’ in successfully diverse congregations” (16)? Based on observations of 12 racially diverse Protestant churches in Southern California and over a 170 in-depth interviews with worship leaders and regular attenders, Marti finds the fascinating paradox that churches promote racial and ethnic diversity, perhaps inadvertently, through worship music. |
