He remains a Southern Baptist but Christian and his family are personal friends with Pastor Dale Keffer and his family. Bro. Keffer is pastor of the Providence Mennonite Church in Virginia Beach, VA.

The group’s founding member, tenor Robbie Hiner, partnered with Nick Bruno, Mennonite pastor and evangelist Dale Keffer, and Dale’s brother Lynn and sister Marilyn to found Song Garden Music Group. (Incidentally, this information is on Song Garden’s home page,  which Doug Harrison at Averyfineline must have forgotten to check before posting his recent comment about Amish involvement with the label.) But I’m wondering if the original Old Time Gospel Hour Quartet had yet another Mennonite connection. The cut of his suit on the OTGHQ debut album cover makes me wonder if Christian Davis is or was a Mennonite.

Mount Tue, 03 Oct 2006 20:07:11 +0000 http://averyfineline.com/2006/10/02/song-garden/#comment-345 There are quite a few Mennonites and Amish in my area, and Trent is right. I believe I read elsewhere that Song Garden was indeed run by Mennonites. There are quite a few Mennonites and Amish in my area, and Trent is right.

Big difference. Since the Amish do not believe in electricity, dabbling in a recording studio with all its plugged-in microphones and sound boards and computers would make for a conflict of interest.
