A statue of Marty Haugen on one side of the altar and David Haas on the other

Except for that, I think you're right.

By the way, as a born and brought up Protestant hymn singer, I can't believe how bad those two are.

I mean, I understand the "no hymns" or "only chant" POV. I don't agree with it, but I understand it.

But there is a 500-year long tradition of English-language hymnody to work with - congregational hymns have to start out singable, and go from there.

Where did they find those guys?

And Delores Dufner?

I mean, do it right or don't do it.

You know, you're right. "Faith communities" don't have statues. They have banners. And really ugly modern art.
