The Porter's Gate Worship Collective

This week, I spotted an interesting song by The Porter's Gate - and of course wondered who they are.

Some answer here:    https://artandtheology.org/2020/09/12/songs-of-lament-and-justice-by-the-porters-gate/

An American worship collective, which put Covid-time to good use.  No info about denominational links.  But the song-themes, and the language they use suggest a solid theological background, a social-justice mindset, and facility with the English language.   And they tackle the difficult questions - O Sacred Neck.

Songs I've heard so far seem to be more small group performance pieces than congregational.  No bad thing if used correctly - but it can make e it difficult to become well known:  there are phrases here which stick in the mind, but will entire songs stay in the lips and heart?
