I read a chapter from a book entitled "This Side of Heaven: Race, Ethnicity, and Christian Faith" a while back (you can see the book on Google Books, but that chapter isn't available unfortunately). The chapter was about two churches that attempted to merge; one church was predominantly white and the other predominantly black. As the situation progressed, one of the chief conflicts was over the style of worship, and it was fascinating to see the significance of this clash. Each group wanted to preserve their style of worship. I believe they ended up mixing the two worship styles, doing an every-other-song kinda thing…or something. Great read, though.
