Lady Gaga's new label mates: Cloistered nuns from an ancient orderChart-topper Lady Gaga has some surprising new label-mates: a group of cloistered nuns.

If you told your friends you were going to a Hillsong Live concert, worship leader Ben Fielding would have a good-natured correction for you. “We’d probably err to call it a performance,” he said during the band’s second U.S. concert stop in Johns Creek, Georgia over the weekend. “We see these nights as being about people coming out to worship. We don’t just want to play our songs to people; we want people to take hold and to encounter God. That first night ... we saw a lot of people give their lives to Christ.” With more than 11 million records sold, Hillsong is one of the most popular worship groups in the world. |
