I enjoyed reading your post. I found it refreshingly balanced, clear and practical. We are part of a ‘traditional’ hymn singing church in North QLD. I wouldn’t trade the doctrinally rich time tested hymns for anything, but that doesn’t mean we should not embrace new songs and hymns that come out that are scripturally and musically sound.

If you looking for some new but solid music, we use a lot of the WILDS music and we also like a lot of Steve Pettit’s music: http://www.spea.org.

All the best,
