Hello Conja, we have some of this kind of priests or pastors, who take their religion word by word, ---- and we suffer from time to time the same way as other religions, where we lament about their fundamentalism.
Music is a thing per se, no matter what others underlay text- or storywise. Why should a solemn piece by Richard Wagner - there are some - not be played in church just because he conducted his life not as a nice example for the youth ? Ridiculous. Very well said Conja (below) ! ################################################################ Am 26.03.2011 um 19:08 schrieb Conja Summerlin: > Andrew: > > I respect your belief system but in regards to whether the music is > appropriate, it's a moot point as the wedding won't be at a church that > prohibits such music.
