1. I haven't seen a guitar in church since about 1975.

What diocese are you in? We didn't get rid of the guitars until the late 80's only to have them replaced with pianos. And it just doesn't work in church, IMO.

My orthodox (little "o") parish doesn't even have an organ. On good days we have a piano. On bad days, it's an electronic keyboard. And to further scandalize you, I'll state publicly that I'm glad to have them.




I'm glad to have them, because the alternative (guitars, or nothing at all) is worse. We haven't built our Church yet. That'll be some time. We're building our shcool first. Contra Pat Buchannan, we aren't declining.

I have to admit the guitars were lame. However, I really like the piano for some songs. Much better than the cheapo lame organs many churches have.
