Lately, I've been thinking about music in worship. I like singing hymns, but I don't like singing other kinds of music that are more rocky, just doesn't seem appropriate. That may be just my preference, and as I've said about my preferences, I don't think they are a good gauge of what should/shouldn't be sung in church.

This morning, I got to wondering the same thing from the EP side of the fence. Psalms sung from the Psalter are beautiful, it is a joy to sing them. I like the style or meter or whatever that's used, it just seems right.

I know (I think) some EPers sing from the Psalter with instrumental accompanyment, but let's take the case where instruments aren't used. As long as the words of the Psalter are sung, does it matter what style of music is used during worship when they're sung? Would it be appropriate for the words of the Psalter to be sung with a rap style, or reggae, or you choose the style. Why or why not?
