The short version of what happened at my church was that we had 2 services. A contemporary and a traditional. The contemporary was doing well on its own and growing. The traditional was stagnant. The older crowd of the church were displeased because they never see the young people in church anymore. We did the Christmas services all together and mixed traditional and contemporary music. Went OK and the church decided in a Sunday afternoon meeting that it would remain one service. Now the complaints have shifted to the music and I complain too. I love a traditional hymn as much as I love a contemporary song and I believe they should be played and sang with joy and passion, and that is not what we have because it is too excitable.
