According to Wikipedia, spoken word poetry began in the early nineties in New York city. I first heard it in the early 2000s on CBC Radio 1. And now, in the early 2010s, it has made an impact on the old fashioned testimony service.
The following poem was recited yesterday by Sarah Campbell at the Cornerstone Seventh-day Adventist Church in Coquitlam, British Columbia. She, along with others involved in an urban café ministry in Vancouver, gave her testimony during the Sabbath worship service.
Awesome Sarah . . . speak it as it is!
ReplyDeleteI played this for my Bible 9 class and they really enjoyed it. Thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad others are getting to hear it :)
ReplyDeleteI love spoken word and this was a true-to-Christ example of it. Super! Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteI was under the impression that spoken word poetry had been around for millennia. My mistake, I suppose.
