• Redeeming a Dirty Word
  'In most of evangelicalism, the old rules have been simply thrown out. The church has rejected principles of objectivity, tradition, form, repetition, and authority, and has replaced them with notions of subjectivity, spontaneity, freedom, and personal preference. It is no longer “the Divine Service,” it is “my worship.”'

It’s not an accident that almost all the executives in charge of Microsoft’s music, e-books, phone, online, search and tablet efforts over the past decade have left."

• Bifrost: Enriching the Church and Engaging the World … Through Singing
  '“It’s funny that hymnody has become such an archaic artform,” said Wardell. “But there are actual rules to it: you write four-part harmonies, keeping in mind people’s vocal ranges, and you create melodies that are easy for people to pick up and learn quickly. It’s music created to encourage participation.”'
