I DO NOT understand why churches must split themselves up into two services based on worship style. I think it brings disunity among the brethren. Why can't everyone just get along and have a blended worship service with the best of all styles worked in?
Why should I have to choose between traditional or contemporary? Why can't both elements be incorporated? If I go to a strictly traditional service, I lose out on great modern praise music, and if I attend a contemporary service, I miss out on the great historic hymns of the faith (or worse yet, a praise band will take an old hymn, lower the key, simplify the harmony and play it on guitars!).
What gives? It truly breaks my heart to see the church is such disarray!
