This will be a quick one.
Some people complain that "churches these days" are "too focused on the bells and whistles" and "don't preach meat" anymore. (Say that in your best granny voice...it sounds better.)
It's true that there certainly is a lot more happening visually in new churches. Video has become a major element in Sunday services, and churches have found unique ways in incorporating creative media into their worship. The worry isn't that there's too much art--the worry is that the art is supplanting the doctrine.
Actually, I don't have much to say about this, because I don't really understand the complaint. It seems to me that all denominations have their shallow churches. It doesn't matter what kind of extracurricular stuff goes on.
Personally, I really like new ways of saying old ideas. Liturgy and video coincide quite nicely into my vision of a worship service.
Do you have a different perspective? What do you think about emergent worship-styles and the messages that come with them?
