Here's my 2 cents worth - the COST. Not only the initial cost of the
pipes, etc. but also the continual up keep on the instrument. Sure if
you have all kinds of "bucks" sitting around - go ahead and put them
into a pipe organ. But I have the need to balance the need of expensive
pipes and the a true mission/purpose of a church. I know I'm now in
trouble with this - but should we as churches/synogogues/etc. be
concerned about our fellow human beings. I know of one very rich
individual that said he would donate all the money to a pipe organ but
would not give a dime to the missions - because he would not be able to
see what he got for his money. Also "Pipe organs" have become a "status
symbol". "Our pipe organ is bigger, newer, (you fill in the rest) than
yours". If we are about status - then maybe we should go back (as
Christians) to the new testament when the brothers we asking for who
could sit closer to Christ in heaven. His message - not about status -
but how does what you do make you a servant to drawing people closer to
our God. Amen - so be it - and I hope I didn't step on too many toes.
