Not rock, I guess. But pleasing.

Music is such a matter of personal culture or taste. I prefer a Charles Wesley Hymn. As you probably know, Wesley’s hymns were dismissed at the time, because they aimed to popular taste. Psalms were prefered in NE churches. They didn’t even aim to sing in the same key or even the same. This is what Southers called “Cant.” Cacaphony.

Thanks, I think I have heard that once or twice at services I have attended in the past.

My wife has been Catholic all her life. I was a late bloomer and didn`t find Christ until my mid 30`s. One of the reasons I didn`t turn away was because of a small church in St. Louis, MO ( Trinity Church of The Nazarene , in Florissant ).

The moment I stepped through those doors I knew it was a special place. The people, the pastor , the music, all made me want to come back again and again. I could feel the love and the passion, it was real. Finally, I started to understand; things made sense. My life took a massive turn and has never been the same.

I wish I could tell you the whole story but one driving force behind my road to Christ was music. It worked for me in many ways, but that was me. Others may need a different path and I can respect that.
