The writer of this article,
The writer of this article, Chris Weeks, is the pastor of Kent City Baptist Church-a large GARBC church (1000 Sunday attenders) that happens to utilize CCM praise music in their Sunday Services. Weeks uses his blog to teach his congregation.

I would argue that those who are labeled "convergent" (which I believe can be defined as the middle ground between fundamentalism and conservative evangelicalism) have not compromised, but rather are modeling a Biblical way forward in dealing with certain cultural issues.
