You're correct, of course, the problem isn't the tool itself but the user. However, in this case, it is unfortunately a tool that's become ubiquitous for presentations. My only problem with Powerpoint itself (the program) would be its non-intuitiveness. I shouldn't have to mess around with 10 different settings if I want a slide to be a picture, no background, no words, just a picture.

However within the church it has assumed just this narrow meaning. In any case, it is a fun thing to rant about that never ceases to elicit comment.

But I hear this use of the word "worship" (inverted commas here for another reason) so much that it is difficult to remember that it is not really appropriate. And I should certainly have said that the "worship" must be "led well", or in the kind of jargon that was probably on that PowerPoint you couldn't read, "facilitated well". I am certainly not thinking in terms of Matt Redman "doing worship" and the rest of us being spectators, in fact quite the opposite. That sounds to me more what Anglo-Catholics do, anthems etc sung by choirs with congregational participation limited to a couple of hymns. But you shouldn't take my banter on the Lingamish blog too seriously, even when I do quote it on my own blog. You did see the "Humour" tag on my post, didn't you?
