CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
So why are worship leaders afraid to branch out of certain styles??

Perhaps modern was a bad choice of words. Let's say irreverent. Many hymns were thought of as irreverent at the time of their writing, but now are considered very reverent.
I like the use of sarcasm
! You're right, worship is not about us, therefore how does a certain style of music make it about us? God delights in His children using the gifts and talents He gave them.I believe we have reached an impass. I do not believe that any particular style of music is irreverent and you do. I don't believe either of us is going to change that stance. So I say, agree to disagree.

I agree Bergy. Sadly church music has always lived in the past. If it's current it can't be right - well until the 70's that is, when all the hippies and rockers started getting saved. Then they started worshipping God the only way they knew how - in song and music - and it pleased His heart. It still pleases His heart. That doesn't mean the old stuff is not good or will still minister to our spirits, but the new stuff is just as powerful.
