I think the title is more accurate than the first sentence of the article.

"Change" (or more accurately "the failure to change") is responsible for more church splits than Rick Warren.

I think churches that do well are the ones that offer 2 or more services on Sunday, with one being traditional and one being more contemporary to appeal to younger people.
I see nothing wrong with non-traditional music and more instruments. I'm 41 and enjoy a contemporary service more than the traditional Baptist hymns and sermon.
I also recognize when the word is "watered down" and made politically correct and simply will not attend a church that does that in an attempt not to offend any potential member$.

I think you may wish to look further into the church subversion and power moves of Warrenism.

Small potatoes. You call this "dividing a megachurch"? The author should read history of 1054 and 1517. Now those were megachurches being divided!
