find me an 'accepted' definition.

That's what I'm trying to get, or at least enough examples to give me a good idea.

Try this definition:

Anthem:
a song of praise or loyalty to God that often contains scripture and employs strong characteristics of classical music.

hmmmm.... methinks that's a pretty good definition.  It fits the songs I would say are anthems.

Ok.  I was taught that it was a "scripture that has been set to music".  So, when you add a lot of choruses/vamps/what have you that are not exact words of scripture then I SAY (based on workshops attended, etc.) that it is not an anthem.

But who am I?  We are what we're taught, I guess.

There's no scripture in the National Anthem. :)

LOL! You're crackin' me up.  If I'm not mistaken the "Black Gospel" term is the same word with a completely different definition.  I'd be interested to find out who developed the word as far as its meaning in gospel music.

Quick question - who did the first arrangement of Genesis?
It's been out soooooo long, but I'd like to know.
The only recording I know of that song is the Gospel Soul Children of New Orleans.

We heard Thomas Whitfield arranged Genesis. Not sure if it's entirely accurate but it's wut we heard.

I still have the "I Can Do All Things" album.  It's definitely classic Mattie Moss Clark.

Me and Nessa are COGIC by BLOOD so we would know!  YEAH RIGHT!  I've been Baptist 34 years!  LOL!

You can locate the song on a Myspace page, not sure which one but I ran across it recently.

No, it's not true...The Gospel Soul Children's founder, Albert S. Hadley arranged the song on their first release, "Sings Something Old and Something New Phase I". It was later recorded in '79 by Mattie Moss Clark & COGIC International Choir, but the song was titled "In The Beginning".

The song was recorded again byThe Gospel Soul Children on their second release that featured Thomas Whitfield on the album. Even on the second release, Whitfield had nothing to do with that song, credit and arrangement for "Genesis" went to Hadley. I think with Whitfield's association on that album, many believe he wrote or arranged the song.
