I enjoyed some of the artists on Billy Graham's shows - especially the Man in Black.....Johnny Cash

I think that a revival service is a little different. Somehow more contemporary music doesn't seem out of place in the Billy Graham Crusade.

To me (just my own personal opinion), much as I like Johnny Cash he would be out of place during a Mass.

It may be because, during the revival service, the purpose is to call individuals out to recognize their need and make a personal commitment to follow Christ. So naturally there is a focus on the individuals in the congregation.

In contrast, the Mass is focussed on the altar and on the Sacrifice of the Eucharist. So diverting attention from that mighty act to individuals (be they in the congregation or the choir) detracts from the purpose of the service.
