This guy, Larry D. Harwood, is so good here, it's hard to pick one quote over another. Let this stand for the whole. He is an evangelical Protestant who taught philosophy at Franciscan-related Viterbo U., in LaCrosse, Wisconsin when he wrote this in 2002(and still does teach there). He is speaking of "praise worship" in Protestant churches, having noted that some Catholic parishes were trying to imitate it.
