Shekina Glory was a midwest Jesus Music (Christian Rock) band, started in 1975 by Al Ruechel and Brent Larson after they met in a Telecommunicative Arts class at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. The band performed together in local venues and road trip tours throughout the midwest region through the latter part of 1976. Their debut album, Have You Considered? (1976) was a "very impressive custom obscurity from five-guy two-girl outfit scoring high with their mix of dreamy mysterious folk/psych, hard rock and west-coast rural rock."
