Startling news from one of Christian music's most controversial singer/songwriter

Nashville, TN - Controversial singer/songwriter Derek Webb shocked media outlets on Wednesday by announcing a huge career move.

"I'm still going to keep writing. Of course. That's a huge part of who I am. But I'm excited about this new venture."

This "new venture" is Webb's foray into his first local church position. The guitarist and singer, who's made quite a name for himself for incendiary and provocative songs is starting a church this spring in Nashville.

"We still don't have a name," jokes Webb. "Which is kind of a big deal. We have a short list of names, but can't decide."

When asked what sort of values this new church will promote, Webb is quick with an answer.

"Anger. Obviously anger." According to Webb, other principles will include extended worship sets with "darker, more indignation" and sermons that fight against consumerism and conservatism. When asked about sermon themes, Webb is more evasive.

"We'll take it week by week. I think our first sermon series is going to be called 'Pissed and Praying.' I think it's gonna' be a good one."
