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. --Hazhk (talk) 15:04, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
User:Hazhk, this article is a content fork that should probably be redirected back to church service. I explained my thoughts here but nothing has been done about this, as well as other content forks, such as this one, which has been created by the same user.

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. --Hazhk (talk) 19:49, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
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, AnupamTalk 20:08, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
