Yes, different needs in worship. I do not need hand waving and shouting, others might. I do not care for contemporary song, others may not enjoy classical hymns. I may like a point by point 3 hour long sermon, others would not care for anything longer than 30 minutes. Just because we like different things doesn’t mean we can’t agree on the basics.

Heaven help us. We have turned worship of God into worship of self, while deluding ourselves into thinking that it is God whom we are worshipping.

The situation sounds quite like that which St. Paul prophesied would arise in the last days:

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires; and will turn away their ears from the truth." (2 Tim 4:3-4)
