Well, as a non-Christian I try to say as well clear of anything with Christian lyrics as I can, so I can't really say I have an opinion abut it, at least not a well-informed one. I do enjoy some 70's Kansas from time to time though, so if there's some Christian lyrics there I can't say it bothers me much (to be honest I haven't paid much attention to their lyrics).

 Christian prog? It is any liturgical music some time after last catholic council 




Artists with ties to the Progressive Rock and Christian music genres join together to promote what they call CPR - Christian Progressive Rock. Music that fills the soul and lyrics that edify the spirit! 


p.s.
Maybe CPR is music for beings with soul and spirit instead of psyche

There are some prog artists who bring Christian themes into their lyrics.  It really isn't a style.  Although Christian music can be instrumental.  The first thing that comes to my mind isn't prog rock but Bach's Jesu Joy Of My Desiring.  Personally overtly Christian lyrics aren't really my cup of tea and yet I am a huge Kansas fan and they have some songs with Christian themed lyrics.  I'll let others who are more knowledgeable about it address your question further.

I have no idea, nor do I want to, honestly.
 
Could it be music composed by Keith (Saint) Emerson, Greg (Our Lady of the) Lake, and Carl (the Canterbury) Palmer?Wink

Hi.  
I saw Christian Prog category in some of music sites and blogs. I really want to know what is this? Is it a musical style? Is this about lyrics? or musicians? or listeners? What is definition of CPR? Thanks
