I dunno how I feel when a church goes to that extreme... I've found that the focus shifts (for some of the cast) from glorifying God, to glorifying self... human nature... and not uncommon in people who like to perform...

You do have to be careful. But for us it is a real ministry. Moreso at Christmas time than Easter since the non-church goers are more likely to come to a Christmas program.

But the leadership of our church has always been very careful to keep the focus in the proper place. In some years, they have stepped back and not done the production for that very reason. Particularly at Easter when we realized that we were reaching only the church community. And our Minister of Fine Arts is very committed to not hindering the worship aspect of our regular services.

That said, I'll freepmail you the details.
