Bryan Sirchio is a graduate of Duke University and Princeton Theological Seminary. He is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and served as solo pastor of two small northern Wisconsin congregations for four years in the mid 1980s. In 1987 Bryan began a freelance itinerant musical ministry which he refers to as Crosswind Music. He travels extensively throughout the U.S. and beyond offering concerts of his original music, leading worship services, offering retreats, and providing musical workshops and keynote addresses for regional and national denominational conferences.
Rev. Sirchio has published over 200 songs, released 13 albums, 4 songbooks, and 3 study guides which turn many of his songs into youth group, confirmation, and adult Christian Education curricula. His compositions have been recorded by several other artists, used in denominational videos, and featured in various songbooks and Christian education publications.
Most of Bryans musical ministry unfolds within mainline Protestant circles, and in some Roman Catholic parishes as well. Bryan plays guitar and piano and has released original solo music for young children, teens, and adults. He writes in many different musical styles, depending upon the age group and purpose for which the music is created. He has also written numerous songs to be sung by congregations in the context of corporate worship.
In addition to his emotionally compelling and entertaining music, what distinguishes Bryan Sirchios work from most contemporary Christian music is his progressive theology, inclusive language, honoring of the earth, commitment to social justice, and compassion for the poor. Rev. Sirchio is a passionate theologian, a gifted musician, and a prophetic Christian educator who possesses unique gifts for communicating biblical truth. His music helps awaken imaginations, move hearts, stimulate minds, heal wounds, change lives, and sow seeds of justice, peace, and transformation.vizualizați mai puține
