I hear settings 1 and 2, and I can see the music committee sitting around the table talking about how the music needs to be more “happy” and “accessible.” Are we Episcopalians? The Sanctus and the Gloria sound like a John Williams soundtrack, lacking the dignity and reverence of Setting 3. The TLH should be kept in print so that congregations have a choice.

Much rock music is about rebellion. Even the term 'Rock and Roll' is a slang word for sex, does anyone remember that? You can find it here: (http://nfo.net/usa/slang.html). Is this really what we desire to use for Divine Service? I think we want to be very careful to bring a Godly music to Him who is above all others.clarinerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04629173702996400039noreply@blogger.com
