Contemporary vs. Traditional

I'm a little blue today after seeing the Rodgers Electronic Organ at my church Sunday, not only shoved into a corner but with its pedalboard disconnected and standing against the wall so the console could be FURTHER shoved into the corner for more pew space. My dream is one pictured at the link below. I, the retired organist/choirmistress, am sad. Are we throwing out the baby with the bathwater in trying to do the new, contemporary stuff? Are we getting away from 300+ years of traditional hymns just because they're old? Discuss amongst yourselves; I'm getting verklempt.
