WELS Member Responding to Article on Church Growth "Worship"




Joe Jewell "Any casual tour of my denomination’s [LCMS] churches will reveal how right we are. Rare — practically unknown — is the church that has not bent at least one knee to this movement. Some pastors meld contemporary songs with organ-led hymn singing and call it a blended service; others establish rival services, one for the traditionalists, one for the moderns. Who knows how many churches have installed the furniture of rock ’n’ roll in their chancels — the amps and music stands and keyboards and drum kits and microphones — and affixed disagreeable worship screens to the front walls...."



Joe Jewell The same is true, I would say, in the WELS. There are very few churches untouched by this (there are SOME--I have sought out and specifically visited them--but very few). The instinct seems to be blend, blend, blend...

 Start them young and invest in huge monitors all over the church auditorium and stage - the desolating sacrilege.
Watch us GROW!!! much smaller.
