Background
Up until fairly recently, many of the players in the world of progressive music have come from one of two basic philosphical schools. The first is secular humanism, with little or no religious content or message. The second is the loosely understood "new age" movement. While these themes have been common in progressive rock music, explicitly Christian themes have been rare (with Rick Wakeman being a notable exception). Richard Christopher Wakeman (born May 18, 1949 in Perivale, London, England) is a British progressive rock keyboard player. ...
In the late 1990's, Bill Hammell started several email lists (including the christianprog list) which served as a point where many of the Christian progressive rock artists could network and help develop into a sub-genre. One of the results of the email list discussions was the CPR anthologies. As more musicians have blended the Christian faith with working as progressive musicians, the term Cprog has been coined to describe and promote the sub genre.
