"Worship (Music) Wars" aren't new...

...here's proof that the saints have been battling over music for quite a long time, from the records of the Hayes Parish Church on March 18, 1749: "The Clerk gave out the 100th Psalm, and the Singers immediately opposed him, and sang the 15th and bred a disturbance."

(from the Hayes Parish Register, cited R. Kent Hughes in "Worship by the Book", ed. by D.A. Carson (Zondervan), p.93.
