Two Lungs Member Registered: 01/21/02 Posts: 1479 Loc: Takoma Park, MD	Not my cup of tea, but maybe he is reaching some who are not touched by the Gospel in more conventional ways.

Terry Bohannon Member Registered: 05/15/07 Posts: 1556 Loc: Houston, TX USA	It's very possible he is doing that wisely. The crowd that normally flocks to that music often are in a great need for conversion. Terry

Edmac Member Registered: 10/21/07 Posts: 304 Loc: Brooklyn, NY	This is surely one of the weirdest things I have ever seen. More than that, I will not say.

Ray S. Member Registered: 10/07/04 Posts: 1168 Loc: Florida	I think he is cool! I would love to have a Trappist Ale with him some time. One of my favorite songs is ONE by Metallica. Edited by Ray S. (07/18/08 11:34 PM)

A Simple Sinner Member Registered: 04/18/07 Posts: 1024 Loc: Ohio	Hmmm... Maybe if he got together with the "Free Monks" (http://www.homelands.org/worlds/freemonks.html) in Greece... Maybe releasing a joint album could kick start some ecumenical punk-metal sort of thing? Maybe?

searching east Member Registered: 05/02/07 Posts: 128 Loc: IL	In Chicagoland is a Catholic priest who is quite the serious jazz guitarist. His name is John Moulder. I've seen him play. He is very good. Edited by searching east (07/19/08 02:40 AM)

Collin Nunis Member Registered: 07/27/07 Posts: 289 Loc: Perth, Australia	Well, if people are coming to Christ via "weird" music, i don't see any problems. Unconventional yes, but also a wise move. There are Orthodox priests who are musicians by the way. Whether they are in the vein of Bob Seger or Dan Fogelberg, I have no idea. PS: There is a Franciscan priest who's a rapper-bassist. Stan Fortuna's the name.

Maybe? Very nice music, thanks for the link... I had heard about 'free monks' but had never actually heard any of their music. Alice
