Comment:	Today is 1st October, 2015. As I go back in time and read this article I reminisce about the day in the church when my friend, Anthony Brightly was baptised! My wife (Iris, who sang as part of lovers rock band - Revelation) and I have also returned to our Christian roots and have joined the ranks of UK reggae gospel artists. Lovers Rock being our preferred style was scarce! So we totally identify with the words of Anthony in this article. There is still a long way to go in establishing the relevance of reggae as a powerful vehicle for sharing the Gospel of Christ, but it is still happening. Iris released, "You Are My Ministry on iTunes 2012 and recently joined 12 other UK reggae artists on "The Tour Riddim" compilation CD. The first time that the premier gospel artists from UK have come together in this way. Live showcases are planned to take that 12 act package around the UK, Europe and the Caribbean. There are so many saved and un-saved souls who need to know and understand that the music you love was created by the Creator and it is He who gives the inspiration and talent. Reggae Gospel is a true expression of the reggae beat that has captured millions worldwide through Marley and others. As we who were once in that secular world, turn our talents over to Gods work, that is when people will begin to see that being a Christian is not all "thou shalt not" rules which they believe they can't embrace. The music and lyrical content helps them to draw near and see for themselves. That ultimately stimulates the changes in audience thinking that we have seen at our showcases. The Gospel is still being sung in reggae since this article and long may it continue to grow from strength to strength for the Glory of God!. Tony Rich - the banner is being carried high - RIP.
