I was also under the impression that some of Luthers songs were written to "bar songs." This didnt strike me as odd considering katharina ran a brewery. I am pretty sure at least a few of his songs were originally folk songs. Whether they were or not would not change my opinion on music.

The type of music that you sing a hymn to does not matter to me. The question i would ask is, "what is the reason for changing the music style." Worshiping is all about God and not our own desires. My church does sing both "contemporary" worship songs and hymns. I often think music is used in the wrong way, to spark emotions or whatever. I personally prefer to sings hymns at church with the organ. In my free time i listen to all kinds of music including heavy rock music. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/peace.gif" alt="" /> I would probably be more in line with that OS X believes. Although i hate rap music, it is only music and im sure i could worship God with it playing.
