Effectiveness of blended worship

Reference no: EM133713644

Reword: In addition to authenticity, the effectiveness of blended worship is also questioned. Skeptics propose that in the process of trying to appeal to everyone's preferences, blended worship has been promoted explicitly as a consumerist strategy generated within the "church growth consulting industry," a way to satisfy every customer. It has also been presented as a compromise strategy in the "worship wars" that marketers of the brands "traditional" and "contemporary" created and still, to some degree sustain. This is neither a cease-fire nor a real solution, long term. It can't be, when its premises are still about making sure different market niches can get some of what they're looking for out of worship. The Bible has a name for worship focused on something other that offering ourselves to God, as the intense focus on "preference driven worship style" has become: idolatry.
