[Miss Marple]

Well, all I can say is that I know I didn't join the Church for the music.

I have given up. We get one traditional hymn about every 6 weeks. Otherwise it's the 70's stuff, which is either bland or sounds like pop music.

I consider this suffering which I offer up. I listen to CD's at home in order to hear good sacred music.

[Salvation]

There are many that I don’t sing and just offer it up. I also do a lot of praying after Holy Communion and rarely sing.

If I am lectoring I don’t sing at all. I’ve learned that it is too much strain on my voice to sing and lector too. (I ended up in a terrible coughing spell once and the Deacon had to finish the announcements.) Embarassing!

"Well, all I can say is that I know I didn't join the Church for the music."

Yes, OCP music is one of the crosses that converts have to bear. Putting the words of a psalm to honky-tonk piano music does NOT make "sacred music". Horrible stuff.
