Re lights and organs, etc...I attended a Virgil Fox "Heavy Organ" show in
the '70s. He used a big Rodgers touring organ and a team of five or six
actual humans backstage who ran the lights and other psychedelic
goings-on...looked like something right out of "2001 Space Odyssey."
Wonderful, but not in church, thank you. Shall we have red for port chamber
and green for Great and Pedal? Shall we have "just follow the bouncing
ball/light?" Shall we have consoles that revolve clockwise for hymns in a
major key, counterclockwise for minor keys? If a PR300S is OK, why not
__________ (fill in the blank)?
Taste, common sense, good judgement, and beauty may be in the mind of the
beholder, but if most churches don't use such lighting schemes, maybe there
are good reasons why they don't. Maybe for every member or potential member
of the congregation who likes it and feels it facilitates their worship,
there are many more who do not like it at all.
