It’s Gloria in excess, says Jonty Langley. Worship leaders are reporting they’re overwhelmed with new songs to choose from. Could it be time for a moratorium on the release of new music?

The reasons are complex and so we are left to surmise why so many are feeling New Chorus Fatigue. There seems, for example, to be no scientific data relating to how many times the human body can repeat phrases like “your glory” disconnected from any meaningful reason to do so before going into catastrophic organ (or rhythm section) failure. But the basic question many people are asking is: are too many worship songs being written?

Scottish songwriter Andrew Mitchell, who himself stepped away from the Christian music industry in the US explains why he agrees with Asbury’s comments
