Ralph (and others),
Another reprehensible subject is the elevation of the "Sound Man" to
controlling worship.
Interesting, I have yet to see a Sound Woman...so this indicates it is yet
another bizarre extension of the male psyche, right up there with TV remore
controls.
Now we enter many churches to hear professional pre-recorded music.
Then the organist and pianist play. Downer.
Then the soloist gets up and signs along with a Nashville created track of
extremely high quality.
The the organist and pianist play during the offering.
The choir sings an anthem (in many churches, it's a Special) to taped
accompaniment.
The organist and pianist play while the people leave, since no one is listening
anyhow.
The morale of musicians in such a setting has to suffer.
I don't see the pastor or his associate standing aside while the word is read
and preached by someone in a far off studio, just becase they can do it better.
Losing the personal involvement of musicians!
