A friend pointed me to this very interesting article in Slate that traces the roots of Contemporary Christian Music to a so-called ‘homophobe’ christian by the name of Frisbee. Read it and comment, especially if you know anything about Frisbee or the accuracy of the documentary covering his life. An excerpt:
In 1993, Frisbee died of AIDS, raising issues that most people in the evangelical community would rather ignore. Though the man had sparked two of the most dynamic Protestant revival movements to appear over the last 30 years—Calvary Chapel and later the Vineyard—his catalytic role had largely been swept under the carpet until Di Sabatino made his documentary.
