I've heard plenty of attempts. Admittedly, most are substandard and unable to compete with the quality of sound heard from secular producers. BUT, If one were to make truly quality Christian dance music, what an enormous number of listeners they may ecru, seeing that it's obviously something Christians want to hear. It's just that not many have delivered material that can come close to what the secular world offers. In the words of Jesus, "the harvest is plenty, but the laborers are few." ...Though few, they exist. Andy hunter is one, scope his myspace. I'm another. Scope mine.

Thanks for posting sir - fascinating stuff indeed, including the Sheffield connection... Sheffield's one of the UK's nervecentres of electronic music, I wonder exactly how rave the 9 O'Clock Service got, in musical terms?

Thanks for posting sir, it means a lot. Kind regards Mr Braidy Technician, Museum of Techno To be fair, there are some ugly, badly dressed people wobbling around in a small group about half way through the video – it’s only slightly less well attended than some disastrous breaks nights I attended in Brixton a few years ago, researching a forthcoming post about “Breakbeat: the weakest genre.”

Thanks for posting sir, it means a lot.

Kind regards

There was a sort of rave Christian church in Sheffield in the early nineties, led by the implausibly named Reverend Chris Brain. It turned culty and collapsed amid allegations that Brain's "healing" of some of his more damaged female parishioners had crossed the line into, er, full penetrative sex. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_O%27Clock_Service Reminds me of Hank Hill’s deathless verdict on Christian rock: these people aren’t making Christianity better, they’re just making rock music worse.
