My friend Craig has an interesting blog on what Anglican churches can learn from Pentecostal churches on music.

It’s great to see an article on the Sydney Anglicans website humbly looking to learn from brothers and sisters in other church networks.

One of the singers at church asked the question last week, “what makes great song leading in church?” It’s a great question. Many churches are blessed with great singers, but my hunch is that far fewer have truly great songleaders… people who are able to lead the crowd (both musically and spiritually) in a genuine engagement with God.

Here are a few clips from some of the leading song leaders of our day. I figure we can learn much from all of them!

But what particularly do you think is great about what they’re doing? Is there some stuff which might work well in an arena but less well in a suburban church?

Brooke Fraser - Hosanna


Matt Redman - Blessed Be The Name

Tim Hughes - Here I Am To Worship

Keith and Kristyn Getty - In Christ Alone

Reuben Morgan - Mighty To Save
