I went to church two weeks ago and had this epiphany while listening to the house band warm up the audience for the headliner. The minister wore jeans and a fleece zip-up. His voice was amplified by a wireless clip-on microphone, which was fed to the technical booth, which blasted his voice with remarkable clarity over the audience. As he gave his sermon, two giant projector screens presented visual aids that coordinated seamlessly with his talking points. All the while, a digital video camera recorded him and sent a feed to the lobby's giant flatscreen tv. I was in awe. Sitting back in my plush, theater seat, I thought to myself--if this is just one example of the modern church, what does the future hold for young church-goers?/Loren Kelly, North Idaho College Sentinel.

Question: Do you enjoy the modern church w/its lively worship band and multimedia presentation? Or do you prefer ritual and/or a more traditional approach to church?
