Millennials warn churches against catering to their generation

From American Baptist-

Many American congregations are modernizing worship in an effort to lure Millennials and other young people either into church or back to church.

“For some, the instinct is to radically alter the old model: out with the organ, in with the Fender [guitar],” Christian writer Andrea Palpant Dilley wrote recently for Churchleaders.com.

But that could be a big mistake, Dilley said, because not all Millennials want the same thing when it comes to worship. It’s also risky because Millennials, like anyone else, often change their minds.

Dilley was raised Presbyterian but traded its rituals for hipper, nondenominational churches before returning to more liturgical, traditional sanctuaries.
