'Andersonian' Interview with Kathryn Darden | Christian Activities


Interview with Kathryn Darden

 In September of 2006, Kim Ousley wrote an article about women in the Contemporary Christian Music Industry for the Anderson, IN "Andersonian" and interviewed Christian Activities Publsher, Kathryn Darden as part of her research.

Excerpt:
Kim Ousley (KO): From one who is involved in the Christian music industry, what roles have women played over the years, how have they evolved or changed and what direction do you see it heading? 

Kathryn Darden (KD): Women have always had a big impact on Christian Music, in the beginning as artists like Evie, and now as leaders of corporations. The 80's and early 90's saw a lot of women launching their own companies. Marilyn Lorenz has been running her own company, the Copyright Company since April of 1991. In 1992 I officially launched Christian Activities Magazine (although I began publishing a smaller version in 1988). Lisa Jones launched her own booking agency in the 80's and Laurie Anderson started her own Management Company a few years later.
