There seems to still be the ongoing split between &#8220;traditional&#8221; and &#8220;contemporary&#8221;, although its mostly in existing congregations.  The battle is largely over in new church starts, where its band over organ from day one.  The problem seems to that even while part of the church wants to live and sing prior to the 19th Century, another part only wants to hear praise and worship music from the 80s and 90s.  In the meantime, most of the culture is listening to music that isn&#8217;t like either one anymore, so the church is missing out.
