The sound of worship has hit a sour note in many congregations. Changing styles of music have become a source of conflict.
Some church members miss the loss of doctrinally rich hymns.
On the other side of the aisle is a generation that seems to thrive on new songs, more volume and repetitive lyrics. Over the years, I've been on both sides of the fence. Sometimes I've been insensitive to those who are my senior. At other times I've felt that the music of the young has crossed boundaries of reverence and good taste. At this point, I think I understand less about music than I did 30 years ago.
