You see, when we separate people according to something as trivial as musical preferences, we evidence a fundamental failure to comprehend the heart of the gospel. We’re not only feeding toxic tribalism; we’re also saying the gospel can’t successfully bring these two different groups together. It’s a declaration of doubt about the unifying power of God’s gospel. Generational appeal in worship is an admission that the gospel is powerless to join together what man has separated. (Emphasis mine.)
Building the church on stylistic preferences or age appeal (whether old or young) is just as contrary to the reconciling effect of the gospel as building it on class, race, or gender distinctions. In a recent interview J. I. Packer said, “If worship services are so fixed that what’s being offered fits the expectations, the hopes, even the prejudices, of any one of these groups as opposed to the others, I don’t believe the worship style glorifies God.” One of the leading ways the church can testify to God’s unifying power before our segregated world is to establish and maintain congregations and worship services that transcend cultural barriers, including age and musical styles.
This is what we are striving to express in the structure of our worship at mgpc.

Agree 100% – thanks for posting this. And this critique should be applied to the student-based congregations, often driven by AFES staff, that are being developed in some Australian Presbyterian churches. Deeply problematic.
The homogeneous unit principle has been coming under increasing scrutiny.
I was particularly taken with Tchividjian’s consideration of the issue as a Gospel application, and would like to think that it would resonate particularly with those who espouse a reformed understanding of the Scripture.
