The Very First Invitation to Enter the Worship Circle
Ben and Robin Pasley, Waterdeep : May 13, 2005
At The Well Bookstore!
As the story goes, Ben says to Robin, "If we have to endure one more campus ministry group trying to perform super-white-bread choral music on an acoustic guitar and a keyboard I will burst into flames!" And so, out of compassion for the culturally ridiculous, and a love for university students, the creative urge of Enter the Worship Circle began...
They met Don and Lori Chaffer and the Waterdeep guys during some tours that collided in 1998-1999 and with very little arm twisting, put together a plan to record some live worship on hand drums and acoustic guitars that would be a service to campus groups and small groups everywhere.
Some of the EWC Basics were to keep the writing in common, modern language, plagiarize the Bible, and have honest conversations with God. What emerged was an independent sales phenomenon.... and an album that continues to find a home in CD players all around the world. When it was release in Europe in the summer of 2002 it became the best selling worship album in the UK in just two months!
