ICC decide not to distribute controversial Martyn Joseph album
IN THE LIGHT of the controversy surrounding Welsh singer/songwriter Martyn Joseph and his
soon-to-be-released album 'MJGB06' which contains the controversial
song "Mr Robertson", recorded live at Greenbelt '06, and the use of
the "f" word ICC Media Group, the company responsible for distributing
Martyn's Pipe label to UK Christian retail, have decided not to
distribute the album. Said a spokesperson, "We believe it would not be
right for us to distribute it and I know Martyn appreciates the
decision we've made on it."
Jesus never encouraged the assasination of our enemies, percieved or otherwise. neither did he use foul language to make his point. We all one day shall have to give account of ever idle word we use.I do not take sides as i do not have enough information on the motives of those in question, but the end justifying the means is dodgy ground. I am not a prude, nor am i shocked by the comments of either of these two well known Christians,but iam saddened.
