What religion encourages praise bands?

Answer 1

Christian denominations like the evangelical Protestants are most susceptible to this over display of praising God in church services. Examples would be the Southern Baptists, the Pentecostal sects, like the Assembly of God, and all other fundamental denominations! Due to the longterm decline in church membership, the more liberal, mainline denominations have been experimenting and incorporating, this new style of worship, but still offering traditional services to be available. The United Methodists and the Presbyterian churches have been making available praise bands and the like. The theory is that young people, especially, are turned off my old-line denominations, and are looking for a more modern, expressively form of worship. Even the Lutherans are joining in and have incorporated multi-media aids like the Methodists and Presbyterians. Its still not clear if this is going to reverse the decline in membership.
