The embrace of a separate "modern worship" was a critical error on the part of the #UMC.
Separate #ContemporaryServices divided the church in two. The contemporary service brought in a younger, less #Methodist crowd ... and few churches provided any means of anchoring them in the traditions of #Methodism.
Result: fundamentalists, Methodist in name only, craving a return to fundamentalism. UMC should have fused traditional and contemporary trends together: evolution over division.
