Theological Concerns with Popular Hymns
Certain hymns have been criticized for promoting bad theology, which can deepen misconceptions among congregants. For instance, the hymn 'All Are Welcome' fosters an idea of the church as a human creation, undermining the belief that the church is built by God. By suggesting that church membership relies on human efforts to make others feel welcome, it neglects the call for repentance and the sanctity of the Eucharist. This focus on inclusivity over adherence to doctrinal truths can lead to a diluted understanding of the faith and potentially harmful implications for believers.
