The music side of me really likes those "praise concerts", for lack of a better term, but the pragmatic side of me wonders if I'd ever go to one if I wasn't playing.
Given the choice between dreary late medieval organ music, choir anthems, a sermon and the occasional "handbell choir" piece (description of our early all-trad service) I'd take the praise concert every time.
