The Cute, the Cool, and the Catechized
By Dr. Gene E. Veith,
Professor of Humanities,
Concordia University, Mequon, Wis.

the future.

Yours, Mine or Ours: Teenagers' Perceptions of Church
Music
By Dr. Barbara J. Resch,
Coordinator of Music Education,
Indiana University - Purdue University Fort Wayne,
and Director of Children's Choir, St. Paul's Lutheran Church,
Fort Wayne, Ind.
Planners of youth gatherings and youth services typically assume that teenagers
will be most open to the hearing of God's Word when it is carried by the styles
of rock and popular music. There are several concerns with this approach to
choosing music for worship, not the least of which is that it may be based on
false assumption about teens' relationship to the music they consider "theirs."
