Musicians play African drums mixed with a loud sampler machine by candlelight while worshippers meditate. Although Generation X churches embrace diversity, they haven't abandoned Lutheran traditions. The Lutheran liturgy, Lord's Prayer and communion are still an important part of Spiritworks' service. They just don't want traditionalism.
