When one asks me if I believe in angels, I always answer yes! I cannot prove there are any otherworldly/spiritual beings “out there”; the angels in which I believe are those who have graced my life—some for long periods of time, others for but moments. Whichever, at the time, each was crucial to my emotional survival. Most of these I list in categories, as to name them individually would fill another book. First, I list my parents, Herman and Bertha McCullough, and siblings (Lee, Al, Eileen, Paul, and Doyle) who, though at times mystified by my struggles for faith, have loved me no less. Next, I mention the members of the church congregations I served (all United Methodists): Camp Creek Emmanuel and Manhattan College Avenue in Kansas and Rivera, Mission First, Oxford, and Helotes Hills in Texas. Others who hold a special place in my soul, listed from my youth forward, are Bob and Marie Gaither, Bill Gaither, J. T. Truax, Uncle Floyd Goins, cousin Howard Goins, Leo Slagg, Walter and Naomi Larsen, A. Bond Woodruff, Elmore E. Vail, Dick Neiderhiser, Jim Mitchell, Wendy Parsons, Delbert Gish, Joe Grider, Cecil Findley, Larry Guillot, Clyde Miller, Bob Winkler, Byron Hollinger, Muriel Hunkins, John Lewis, Mel Witmer, Bryce Kramer, Martin Pike, Jay Brown, Patty Johnson, Don Carper, Jerry J. Smith, Homer Bain, and my canasta-playing friends, who have endured twelve years of listening to my angry complaints against what I consider to be the madness of the status quo. My daughters, Kira and Dana, somehow survived despite my, at times, being adrift in near mental illness. Thus I am deeply indebted to their patience and love. And finally, I make tribute to my wife, Jean, who, though not religious, is the most nurturing—and, thus, spiritual—person I have ever known. - Xlibris Podcast Part 1: http://www.xlibrispodcasts.com/gaithers-corner-1/ - Xlibris Podcast Part 2: http://www.xlibrispodcasts.com/gaithers-corner-2/ - Xlibris Podcast Part 3: http://www.xlibrispodcasts.com/gaithers-corner-3/ - Xlibris Podcast Part 4: http://www.xlibrispodcasts.com/gaithers-corner-4/ - Xlibris Podcast Part 5: http://www.xlibrispodcasts.com/gaithers-corner-5/

In The Gaithers and Southern Gospel, Ryan P. Harper examines songwriters Bill and Gloria Gaither's Homecoming video and concert series--a gospel music franchise that, since its beginning in 1991, has outperformed all Christian and much secular popular music on the American music market. The Homecomings represent "southern gospel." Typically that means a musical style popular among white evangelical Christians in the American South and Midwest, and it sometimes overlaps in style, theme, and audience with country music. The Homecomings' nostalgic orientation--their celebration of "traditional" kinds of American Christian life--harmonize well with southern gospel music, past and present. But amidst the backward gazes, the Homecomings also portend and manifest change. The Gaithers' deliberate racial integration of their stages, their careful articulation of a relatively inclusive evangelical theology, and their experiments with an array of musical forms demonstrate that the Homecoming is neither simplistically nostalgic, nor solely "southern." Harper reveals how the Gaithers negotiate a tension between traditional and changing community norms as they seek simultaneously to maintain and expand their audience as well as to initiate and respond to shifts within their fan base. Pulling from his field work at Homecoming concerts, behind the scenes with the Gaithers, and with numerous Homecoming fans, Harper reveals the Homecoming world to be a dynamic, complicated constellation in the formation of American religious identity.
