In a way, the old time churches were venues for Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Albonini and for other composers music to be heard. Mozart’s music became more secular though he was religious.
I support “entertainment” in churches with this type of music. This more modern Christian rock praise music is hokie. It is better than Catholic, Protestant and Evangeliclas filling the pews with illegals.
“Unfortunately, a lot of people go to church looking for the former.”
Are you sure about that? I think if you check carefully you might find an assumption, perhaps based in prejudice, in there somewhere.
