Joette, thank you for those thoughts. I’ll admit, at first glance I was taken aback by your idea of folks bringing guitars into the pews. I need those guitarists in my choir! All kidding aside I’ve been blessed to have the musical ability (or to have directors that have the ability) to teach, write music, and integrate a wide variety of instruments into a choir – the churches I have belonged to have almost all had very welcoming music ministries. However, I have experienced what you described as well – well intentioned and talented musicians that are putting on a show instead of leading a congregation in worship.

Its a challenging issue no matter how you look at it. I guess my question for you would be – have you talked to directors about bringing shaker eggs into the pews? Even the priest?
