I am churchgoing because I am a paid professional singer for an Episcopal church, which for all its faults still is most likely to have traditional hymns and anthems from the Western music tradition. I almost never listen to sermons or go to coffee hour. I like the music, that’s it.
Episcopal church has to pay people to serve at church? Really? Are you being sarcastic, I sure hope so.
I personally hate the music they play at church. I drag my feet and try to be late just so I can miss the 20 minutes of music before the sermon. Modern church music sucks. Maybe it's good for the radio but not before a sermon. The lyrics are empty and repetitive.
How about the words?
