Christian music under the summer skies


What covers 600 acres, requires 600 portable toilets and is powered by 160,000 watts? It's Creation 2007:


More than 50,000 people gathered here for the nation's largest Christian music event, as the four-day Creation Festival began yesterday with performances by recording artists including Switchfoot.


The festival will feature more than 70 groups performing on two stages before concluding Saturday night with the Newsboys, an Australia-based Christian pop band. ...


Tens of thousands camp out all four days of the festival at Agape Farm here in southwestern Pennsylvania, many arriving Tuesday night in campers and RVs, with thousands more pitching tents on a site that sprawls over 600 acres. ...


In addition to the Christian rock groups, amplified by a 160,000-watt sound system on the main stage, festivalgoers will hear messages from 20 evangelists and other speakers, including Joshua Harris, senior pastor of Covenant Life Church in Gaithersburg.


Wednesday night's performance was interrupted by a thunderstorm that sent concertgoers scurrying for shelter, but helped cool down the sweltering weather.
