This article greatly overlaps with
Church service. I can see a place for this specific topic, given that we have comparable articles for
Mass (liturgy),
Morning Prayer (Anglican) and
Divine Service (Lutheran). However, it ought to be made clear that this topic is the particular form of worship in (American) evangelicalism. I have moved the text of the 'Origins' section to Church service. All traditions trace their forms of worship back to the early Church. Evangelicals may hold that their worship services resemble the worship of the Apostles but this POV should not be pushed on Wikipedia. Moreover, the 'Controversies' section appears to be taken almost entirely from
Evangelicalism#Controversies, so I have removed this content. --

That was my initial thought too when I first read this article a few months back. Rather than propose a merger with
Church service I thought we could work with this article. I see this topic as comparable to the forms of worship I linked above. It describes a particular style of worship (i.e. non-liturgical, contemporary). However I'll take a look at your proposal. You have presumably given it more thought that I have. --

User:Hazhk, thank you for your reply. There is already an article on
contemporary worship. As such, this article should not exist. It is also inaccurate in that it asserts that evangelicals do not worship liturgically; many evangelicals, such as
evangelical Anglicans, do indeed employ liturgy in their worship services. I hope this helps. With regards,
