Amy Grant, one of the most influential contemporary Christian musicians, has been on a downward spiritual journey since the dawn of her career. Today she is comfortable holding hands with everyone from Baptists to New Agers. On April 19, she joined the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Catholic Matt Maher, and others for a unity concert in Ypsilanti, Michigan. In January, she was one of the headliners for the “We Are United” concert promoting ecumenical unity. The “33 greatest CCM artists in history” who participated represented a who’s who of Contemporary Christian Music and illustrated the fact that nothing is building the one world “church” more effectively than contemporary musicians. “We Are United” participants included Steve Green, Michael W. Smith, Newsboys, Sandi Patti, Travis Cottrell (Beth Moore’s worship leader), Dallas Holm, Russ Taff, The Imperials, Don Francisco, Jaci Velasquez, Petra, 4Him, Point of Grace, Carman, and Nicole Mullen. “We Are United” was the brainchild of Stan Moser, one of the fathers of CCM, and board members of the Gospel Music Trust Fund, a major beneficiary of the concert, include Bill Gaither and National Quartet Convention President Les Beasley. The broad CCM unity tent not only includes Roman Catholics but also New Agers. Roma Downey played a prominent role in the “We Are United. Not only does she pray to Mary as Queen of Heaven, but she also has a graduate degree in Spiritual Psychology which is the practice of “knowing yourself as a Divine Being.” Roma Downey’s false gospel, false christ, and false spirit are welcome within the broad tent of CCM, and Bible-believing churches that play around with contemporary worship music are building bridges to this most dangerous world.
