Maybe the problem in that last comment is also the idea that 'they are putting their art out there' when in fact they should be 'one of us, working with us'. I feel increasingly strongly that worship-as-a-gig is wrong in a church worship context, and that we need to be worshipping all together if we're to do more than a form of Christian Karaoke.

But, the side issue is many musicians still have an artistic side that needs to be respected, nurtured or whatever.fernandohttp://www.fernandogros.comnoreply@blogger.com
