The Worship Experience

The worship wars are over, and most protestant churches now feature a praise band or worship team.  In the quest for relevance, today’s churches offer worship experiences that are in tune with the expectations that parishioners receive from contemporary pop-culture.  However, some are beginning to recognize that this pop-music worship style lacks a certain transcendence, and in their quest to find a sense of the sacred, many are abandoning evangelicalism and are becoming Catholic or Eastern Orthodox.  So is this new appreciation for gregorian chants and swinging incense a healthy reaction?  What is worship, anyway?  That’s what’s on tap on this edition of White Horse Inn.
