Episcopal News Services writes about St. Ambrose Episcopal Church, a historically Black parish in Raleigh, North Carolina, hosting its first Hip Hop Mass on Feb. 23 as part of its series of educational and celebratory events honoring Black History Month.
“We will be bringing hip-hop – which has a tremendous influence worldwide but has not historically been a part of church worship – to the altar of God, which means a part of me and a part of many other people who were either formed by hip-hop [or] hip-hop-slash-rap is an important part of their current life,” the Rev. Jemonde Taylor, rector of St. Ambrose, told Episcopal News Service.
