Re: The new traditional church

This is a response to an article I read over at monty hobson's little piece of the interwebs.

It states that more churches should be involving the hip-hop/r&b genre into their worship services because itunes says that a good portion of the people who buy their music on itunes purchase hip-hop. I'm not giving the right numbers but that's not really the point.

IF the Church were to embrace hip-hop/r&b as a style of music to be used during corporate worship wouldn't it bring up the question, "how do people sing along with someone rapping or flowing?" To me the music style used in worship does matter, but not to the point that people can't sing with it.

Of course all this to say I don't think that I will ever find my "style" of worship this side of heaven. I can adapt and meet God in most styles of music. But for me to enjoy and not have to stop thinking to worship I need music with a little more grit and punch to it. And then there's the whole function of how to mix it well for a worship service.

Which is another topic for another night? Maybe I will start adding to this blog more often again. . . . . . .
