Ibadah Kontemporer: Sebuah Analisis Reflektif Terhadap Lahirnya Budaya Populer Dalam Gereja Masa Kini
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2015, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
Like two sides of the same coin, music and worship in a church service cannot be separated. Worship is one way for the congregation to relate to the Creator in a dramatic-symbolic manner. Thomas G. Long declares that in the context of the contemporary church there is a new style war, that is the worship war. This phenomena has been influenced by the swift current of “pop culture” which made its appearance in church worship with the advent of Christian Contemporary Music (CCM). This brought a fresh face to various aspects of ministry which were market sensitive, that is sensitive to the desires of contemporary people, including worship services designed to attract church visitors. Contemporary Christian music uses a full band and the musical style and arrangements of popular music, which is reflected in a worship service called a contemporary worship service whose nature is dynamic and full of enthusiasm. Yet, the Christian church cannot lose essential values, such as using biblical truth as a basis for ordering and developing the church worship service, when facing of the swift current of “pop culture.”
