As the organist in an African American congregation the issue of "contemporary" 
vs "traditional" worship music is a moot point.  Black churches have always had 
a "blended" service with gospels, spirituals, hymns and anthems.  We have a 
Rodgers 945 with a PR 300  that replaced an aging Moeller about 12 years ago.  
I find that with the PR300 and the 945 I'm able to play all types of music both 
traditional and contemporary.  I try to pick music that is first glorifying to 
God, theologically sound and that will edify the congregation; be it 
traditional or contemporary.
