In Christian music, there is an additional "political correctness" element now. People have to be careful how they approach subjects, mainly just because you would rather not have a bunch of protestors at your shows and more confrontation. Most current Christian themed music is more "SPIRITUAL" than actually any one faith.
Kind of a "non-denomintaiontal" approach.

There is "praise and worshop" music, which is sort of monotone type vocals and phrasing, done in many churches worldwide, and then the contemporary songs, which sound more like rock or pop than anything really "Christian." The days of my Father's Southern Gospel quartet music, is pretty much long gone from the mainstream.

If you want the best place to check it out, look at the BILL GAITHER orginization. If anyone has a handle on successful Christian music,videos, groups, recording, publishing, entertainment, there it is.
