We feel blessed to have found a church that does honor what has gone before, and the value of depth in worship. It is not afraid of the new, but will not follow pop Christianity into the shallowness and ease of contemporary 'worship.'
It's only about a 3 and a half hour drive. Why don't you and your son stop in some time. :o)
What I don't understand is why this has become such a problem. When I was first married, we attended a wonderful Methodist church which had balance...a rousing traditional opening processional hymn, a low church hymn, a praise chorus, a traditional choral anthem, and a high church recessional hymn. I think this is a good mix and has somethingwhich appeals to all, plus allows a continuation from generation to generation.
All I have seen around here for the last ten years is "groovy" music, and don't get me started on skits and "sacred dance."
