And maybe some one can give thier opinion on what it could mean.

I was down south, I beleave it was in Tennessee and in a church, it wasn't a Catholic church.

I was at some sort of memorial service and they were singing this hymn that was really beautiful, I can't remember the words to it but it gave me a sense of well being.

Witch was broken when a woman in the congregation got up and started spouting off political diatribes and saying some thing folks shouldn't be saying in ANY church.

I tried to protest her actions as inappropriate for a church service but she only spoke louder.

The thing that really got me upset was that no-one would say anything to stop her and the preacher was silent as well.

I got up and stormed oput of the church saying this was no house of God that would allow such behavior.

now, was that a preminition of what is to come?

Way too serious for the Undead Thread, but cricket please take note: For those who acquiesce in ways (or manners) similar to what you noted, this is one possible outcome. And it's my belief that such actions are not so far away -- as I recall there have already been protests of various kinds in Roman Catholic churches in the U.S.

Am thinking the 'lady' - in the Church you visited may have had 'issues' and all knew this and so, said nothing. Cannot imagine a poltical diatribe erupting at a funeral - unless the person died of AIDS or somesuch or the deceased was an outspoken Republican!

That said. . .Liberal influences have been at work in the Church for as long as they have been at work - in the world - and here in America. And will continue of course; people just need to 'resist' here and speak up; and know what matters; lies not in the Church; but in your heart/soul. . .Soooo; if not inclined to speak out and not a 'major' issue; you could just be quiet and pray/lol. Albeit; this did not work for woman at funeral, apparently.

As for the song that so moved you; I cannot help; but perhaps someone can. Would help if you knew what denomination of Church you were in. . .you could also 'Google' perhaps; 'favorite Church hymns. . .or hymns sung at funerals; but could well be; this was a favorite of the deceased or their family.

(OR. . .call the Church! You can 'google' the Obituary if you cannot remember the name and perhaps, find it there. . .)
