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?
