Rabbi Benny ZippeL from the Chabad Lubavitch of Utah Jewish synagogue in Salt Lake, said a few years ago he wanted to add a technological dimension that would help his people apply their religion to everyday We. His congregation does not believe in using technology on the Sabbath day, but members eagerly agreed to stay late after Friday morning worship to ' watch a video series called The Living Torah."

Church opens archive of president LDS A new exhibit of photos from the life of Gordon Bitner Hinckley, 15th president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daSaints, is on display in the Conference Center and the North Visitors Center at Temple Square until the end of September. More than 90 photographs review the life of Hinckley, from his birth on June 23, 1910, to his 95th birthday last month. Personal and family photos show his parents, his brother and sisters, his growing-uyears, and his marriage and family life. Photos from the church archives recount his more than 46 years as a general authority. During nine and a half decades of life, Hinckley has witnessed a lot of church history. As both a church employee and leader for most of his adult life, he has played a significant role in shaping much of that history for more than half a century. Photos in this new exhibit chronicle his lifetime of sery p vice. The photo exhibit will be sent to other parts of the world later this year. Jill Fellow, Daily Herald .W c i. 'I o V said.

Song lyrics, insightful messages and an occasional close-u- p shot of the band are displayed on a big screen, and the sound is of course loud, said Andy Wiebe, a church member and video editor. Wiebe said he and his wife love being part of the Rock because the church is willing to use modern media to make its message about Jesus Christ -- standout. "This is the same message that they have at a lot of other churches, but it is packaged differently," he said. "It is for a different audience, and it is relevant to them in this specific package." During his interview with the Daily Herald, on site at the Rock, Wiebe pointed out that the song the band was playing at the moment was the classic hymn, "How Great Thou Art." "This song has been around forever, but today we are rock at Rock Canyon Church. Herald . to it and bringing it to a new group of people," he said. Christian rock is not new to high-tec- h church worship. Jn fact, Morris said, the niche music genre is at the forefront of church makeovers in America. The change started during the 1960s when a large group of hippies became Christian, he said. They added a youthful energy to the faith, but they also brought jeans, sandals and rock music with them. So, in the 1970s, the first Calvary Chapel church was started as a haven for hippie Christians. "The church gave the hippies who had become 'Jesus freaks' a voice and a place to play the Christian lyrics they were putting to rock tunes," Morris said. "But if you have a rock influence in your church, you have to have a sound system." They soon discovered they couldn't play rock music in a traditional church. Conventional churches are built for acoustic ing out and a capella music, not rock bands, so churches that welcomed the new sound and free spirit started building chapels that both looked and sounded more like modern music and culture. "They wanted the buildings to reflect what was going on inside," he said. New buildings were equipped with cutting-edg- e sound syschurch tems, and the high-tecmovement was born, Morris . h said. Aside from designing and installing church audio and video systems, Morris holds conferences to teach pastors from around the country how to incorporate high-tecchurch models into their home congregations. "It is hard for most churches," he said. "They want to update, but it takes money to run a church ... if you change things the donors like, you lose your funding.

They might lead a rock tune to open the service and then follow it with a classic hymn of the same theme so both old and young members can see the link between the two styles of worship. Jackson said he lost church members when he announced the move to the Cinemark 16, but he felt the change was so important to his ministry that he accepted the losses. "We want to be a place that gives people a worship experience, an opportunity to connect with God," he said. "This style is just less risky for a lot of people.

While organi- zations struggle to make hightech changes, new churches get to start from scratch. The Rock Church was founded three years again in Salt Lake County. Pastor Bill Young created his entire worship expey aurience around dio, visual and lighting systems. Worshipping at the Rock has a similar feel to attending a rock concert. Churches with popular music themes have become more common around the country as pastors reach out to young populations who might have never attended or liked church, ' Morris said. During worship at the Rock on Saturday nights, six to 10 technicians stand at multiple switchboards in the back of the room to control the mood lighting and sound. They also cue movies clips from modern-dalike "Braveheart" or "The and record the whole worship experience so visitors can walk out the door at the end of the night with a copy of the service to view at leisure or share with friends.
