the zeitgeist report

I am not sure what to think about this, just that I find it extremely curious:

Some Chicago-area pastors who incorporate jazz into worship services use it as an evangelical tool for attracting new members. Others embrace the music as a spiritual connector.

"I see jazz as mirroring God's continuing creation in the world," said Pastor Janet Volk of Northlake Lutheran Church in Northlake. "You never know what's going to happen."

Volk's church was awarded a $14,000 church grant last spring to introduce jazz services, which include secular and faith-based songs. "We were looking at target audiences and casting a wide net as fishers of people," she said.

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this:

The South Michigan Avenue church has no choir, but as the congregation lifts its collective voice to the melodies of the King Fleming Trio, soulfulness sweeps the room. Members tap feet and pat their hands on laps while bopping to the buoyant notes. They smile.
