The Convoluted Cathedral Quartet Catalog Condundrum
The Cathedral Quartet is among the most well-loved and respected gospel groups in history. There isn't a quartet singer today who isn't familiar with the rich history of the Cathedrals, and you would be hard pressed to find many fans who don't own at least SOMETHING...

VIEWS AND COMMENTARY
Bill Gaither’s MusicScribe

Pray for the Persecuted Church
Voice of the Martyrs has called an International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church today and throughout the month of November. I don't think it was coincidental that my daily Bible reading this morning was Psalm 70. As I read the Psalms, my focus is typically on...
