I am so excited about the launch of the Convergence Music Project. As I have travelled across North America and Europe, I find myself in conversations with artists and musicians who are creating the kind of music, poetry, pictures, dances and liturgies that every church should be able to expereince. So many of us have experienced boring, detached, lifeless worship services for far too long. I'm now convinced not only is that not necessary, it's a terrible waste of energy and vision. Our congregational leaders are producing some of the most beatiful music I have ever heard. Our painters are producing the best paintings and designs I have ever seen. Our poets are writing the most vulnerable and inspiring liturgies that we have expereinced in generations. Our creative ones are literally exploding with new contributions, designed to remind us of the sacredness of life, love and one another. 

The Convergence Music Project represents a group of people committed to creating excellent music and art together. It also represents a platform - a technology - that distributes all of our creations to churches across the world. My prayer is that you use this site both as a contributer and as a user. I hope you will tell everyone you know about what is happening here. I hope that you will give us feedback about how we can make this site and community stronger, more effective and more faithful to the movement. 

Most of all, I hope this site and these people support the great work that you are already doing at your church. We need vibrant, fun, thriving faith communities in every town filled with people to what to create a more just in generous world becuase that is what we believe Jesus calls us to do. We are so inspired by all of the great ways you are living into this calling. I pray this tool is one more way to support you in your journey.
