For this case fits an emerging and prevailing pattern where people leave faithful ministries for theological, ecclesiastical, and doxological fluff. When one attends any church offering so-called contemporary worship, one finds a striking sameness between that church and all others of the contemporary style. The service consists largely of singing, led by a worship team, composed of usually very competent singers and instrumental musicians. The words are scripturesque, being usually patterned after the psalms, but rarely are they psalms. These words are projected from a transparency, and they contain many choruses and repeats.
Hands are free from hymnals to be lifted or clapped, and bodies often sway.
It is all, admittedly, great fun. Prayers are short and familiar, even chatty. Humour in the short and simple sermons appears to be paramount. For the time this worship lasts, one is distracted from one's cares and woes by the celebratory event. One would expect that after such a purportedly soul-lifting experience, the people would linger and further fortify each other and welcome visitors into fellowship.
