The point to be made on the website link I gave was not to condemn either contemporary or hymns, but, rather that we examine what we sing in the light of Scripture just as we would what we receive in a message. In some cases, the text of what we sing may be more appropriate for our personal worship time than it is for corporate worship.
At least at Bellevue it isn't an either/or situation with regard to music... unless you're in attack mode against the current staff, in which case even the smallest thing that isn't "the way it used to be" can be a stepping-stone for another character assassination attempt.
