In most cases the group claims to be Christian, but because of their aberrant beliefs on central doctrines of the faith (God, Jesus, and salvation), the organization is not considered by Watchman Fellowship to be part of orthodox, biblical Christianity.
The basic theology of the group is Protestant but, according to former members and other critics, the group exercises inappropriate control over the members and practices shunning and other forms of spiritual abuse.
Modern groups that claim to revive Celtic Christianity are frequently a mixture of Protestantism and Roman Catholicism, with few legitimate ties to the early Celtic church.

 From Where I Sit: Music
This year’s list will include songs from the early years of pop/rock and some songs that might not satisfy the highest artistic standards but qualify due to familiarity, popularity, or my personal enjoyment of the tune.
One thing that’s particularly amusing about this list is that when many of these songs first came out they were considered awful, noisy, rock and roll songs by the “older generation.” Today, many of those same people are listening to these songs every day on “music of your life’ and “legends” formats on the radio.
The list, just like last year’s, is really just an opportunity to survey and highlight the many wonderful contributions that have been made to American music by talented Italian American songwriters.
