Technology in Worship

I believe that technology in worship is an addition to the worship experience that is not necessarily good or bad. The use of screens, images, projected lyrics, image magnification, sound amplification, etc. can all be detrimental to the worship experience if executed poorly, i.e. feedback, bad video shots, difference between projected and sung lyrics. It can be glaringly obvious if there are problems with technology.

However, if technology is effectively utilized it may never be noticed and will be a catalyst for the experience of deeper worship.
