Whilst Contemporary Worship Music arose out of a desire to relate
the music of the church to the music of everyday life, this
function can quickly be called into question by the diversity of
musical lives present in contemporary society. Mark Porter examines
the relationship between individuals' musical lives away from a
Contemporary Worship Music environment and their diverse
experiences of music within it, presenting important insights into
the complex and sometimes contradictory relationships between
congregants' musical lives within and outside of religious worship.
Through detailed ethnographic investigation Porter challenges
common evangelical ideals of musical neutrality, suggesting the
importance of considering musical tastes and preferences through an
ethical lens. He employs cosmopolitanism as an interpretative
framework for understanding the dynamics of diverse musical
communities, positioning it as a stronger alternative to common
assimilationist and multiculturalist models.
