Our elderly can remember parts of the service even if they otherwise have severe memory loss. What will we remember?<BR/><BR/>What is Contemporary anyway? Those trained in the 70's and 80's tend to do things in a certain style. But they are anything but truly current and modern. Many of the youth today can no more relate to "Contemporary" worship styles than their parents could to what went before.<BR/><BR/>One of the big problems with Contemporary worship styles is that, since change and non-stogyness (?) is important, if the reason why people come to your services are ultimately for these types of things; the church done the street will probably be doing it bigger and better. Then you have got to top it. Viciious cycle. Where does that leave the poor pew-sitter? MattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
