On "Contemporary Worship"

Touchstone has a great discussion going on in their "Mere Comments" Blog on "Attractive Worship.  I appreciated these comments by an Evangelical writer:

I find it very odd that many Christians, who reject relativism in theology or ethics, are very comfortable with it when it comes to worship, as if our worship of God Almighty were merely a secondary issue as to which Christians should agree to differ according to their tastes. For me as an evangelical, however,  it is not a question of ornate liturgies: a simple worship service with little more than an old upright piano can be extraordinarily moving. The question is not whether styles may differ in worship, but rather whether there ought to be one attitude among all Christians, namely, that of reverence and awe in our act of worship. If this is not the attitude we seek to encourage, then we are not worshiping God—we are simply entertaining men.
