Shawn Wallace - Jazz Musician Becomes an Orthodox Christian

By admin | September 13th, 2008 | Category: Journeys to Orthodoxy, Side Features |

This week on Journeys to Orthodoxy: Show host, Jacob Lee, interviews Shawn Wallace, an African-American jazz musician and Assistant Professor of Music at Ohio State University. Shawn grew up in a Charismatic Pentecostal home and attended a Word of Faith Church. When he was 20 years old, Shawn started a Bible study and street evangelism ministry and used his gift for music in church worship services.

After directing music at a number of churches, he became disillusioned with Protestantism. A friend shared several articles about Orthodoxy with him and once he was financially able to leave the church where he was leading music, he moved to Columbus, Ohio and was received into the Orthodox Church in December 2004
