Well folks, I’ve been slowly working up the courage for this particular topic. As you can guess by the title, I will be picking through the debate that exists between two general camps: those who see that the contemporary style of worship music has a place and is theologically valid, and those who don’t. Some of you think this debate is dead, and to some extent it may be. However, it can stretch even further and we can ask ourselves if we think that heavy metal can really give a Christian message, or if screamo music can portray Christ just as equally as a hynm night.
Throughout this debate, which will be long (I can assure you of that), we will be browsing through the different genres of music and discussing with various people their authenticity and feasibility within the Christian world view. I urge you to give as much feedback as you deem necessary to this debate, because while I might have an opinion or bias, the whole point is to get to the truth of the matter.
I plan on learning a ton throughout this endeavor, and hope you do as well. Stay tuned!

Just thought I should jump in here, ONLY because I think it a shame that one puts effort into thinking through an issue and then even if there are readers, no one comments. As someone has said, “I am not the least bit backward about being forward” and you can usually count on me making some comment on almost any subject. (One of my blog lines, “with an opinion on just about everything”.) http://www.xanga.com/mister_eh_muses_eh
I have 2 or 3 blog sites but not very active, and am doing a lot of input on a Facebook group. (which could use more input!!!) Doing the same postings as on the Xanga site, but getting more interaction on the Facebook Group.
So I will wait on the worship theme comment until the survey gets going, and I’ll be subscribed to this to keep informed.
