For the sake of clarity, would you be so kind as to enumerate those "elements" which define contemporary worship, e.g., the type of music (rhythm and lyrics) and other such things and which you would say distinguish it from traditional worship?

Although I am assuming you wouldn't condone just ANY "style", your statement does open the proverbial door of pure subjectivity and acceptance of just about anything just as long as the "focus of those who lead and follow" is satisfactory. But this surely begs several questions such as: what is acceptable "focus"? what regulates this "focus"? was Cain's "focus" acceptable to the Lord? what does one worshiping the Lord in "truth" entail? et al <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/scratchchin.gif" alt="" />
