Author Monique M. Ingalls argues that participatory worship music performances have brought into being new religious social constellations, or modes of congregating. Through exploration of five of\u003cbr\u003ethese modes--concert, conference, church, public, and networked congregations--\u003cem\u003eSinging the Congregation\u003c\/em\u003e reinvigorates the analytic categories of congregation and congregational music. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing from theoretical models in ethnomusicology and congregational studies, \u003cem\u003eSinging the Congregation \u003c\/em\u003ereconceives the congregation as a fluid, contingent social constellation that is actively performed into being through communal practice--in this case, the musically-structured participatory\u003cbr\u003eactivity known as worship. Congregational music-making is thereby recast as a practice capable of weaving together a religious community both inside and outside local institutional churches. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCongregational music-making is not only a means of expressing local concerns and constituting the local religious community; it is also a powerful way to identify with far-flung individuals, institutions, and networks that comprise this global religious community. The interactions among the\u003cbr\u003econgregations reveal widespread conflicts over religious authority, carrying far-ranging implications for how evangelicals position themselves relative to other groups in North America and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Monique M.
