The only thing on this list I am not sure about is the claim at #6, that people who get disenchanted with the theology will be disappointed and turned away if theu don't find the same formulaic worship style in a more liberal church they might seek out. Music diversity, including rock and pop styles is essential these days, however. At West Shore, after experimenting with creating different services to contain different music styles, we've settled on eclectic diversity in all services. A rock band is the featured music at least once a month - other Sundays can be traditional church classical with choir, jazz, or the organist dipping into pop music (U2's "New Year's Day" on January 1...)We also use more chant/prayer songs than we used to.Wayne Arnasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08488327823201035352noreply@blogger.com
