The Hip Hop Pastor

What kind of pastor should be the leader of his/her congregation? Will he/she be the one to embrace all facets of their congregation? If so, then why is the pastor discouraged to welcome in the hip hop culture that seems to be rapidly surfacing in the church? In Ralph C. Watkins' book, The Gospel Remix, Jamal-Harrison Bryant suggests that the church should be of all places a launching tool for the hip hop expression since the church is said to be vocal for spiritual practices, symbolism of justice, and congregation of diverse believers (p.90). Bryant's statement can be proven to be true due to the fact that the Bible sets the ambiance for our Christian ministries. You can find churches engaging in different styles of praise and worship experiences, fighting peaceful movements over racism, poverty, blight, war on drugs, etc. The church is a melting pot for all ages, generations, ethnicities, and denominations. Therefore, the pastor should take on the traits of his/ her congregation. As a pastor, one of the major factions the church should do evangelism is in the area of our younger generation because they are the future of the church. How can the pastor be a friend to the hip hop phenomenal and cling to a more radical style of worship/ culture?
