Speaking from personal experience, #2 is much, much, much better 

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

It has been "Friends" in our hymnal for a good 25 years.schlepporello wrote:Hey Joe!
Guess what?
I've got the songbook "The Canadian Brass Christmas Carols - 15 Easy Arrangements". I've been sitting at my computer re-writing the tuba parts into my notation program so as to make it easier for me to read (bolder lines and notes). I'm up to the 5th song so far. Guess what it's title is?
"Good Christian Friends, Rejoice"!
I don't care what their reason was for making the title "Genderically-correct", I'm re-titling my part the way it was originally titled. This kind of pettiness has got me all disgustipated.

Played in my first TubaChristmas event in Chicago the other day. There's nothing that compares to the sound of 200+ tuba and euph players belting out carols -- especially indoors. Also got to meet Harvey Phillips and General Bourgeois of the Marine Band. I had a blast. This is definitely going to be an annual thing.

Re: Update Update
What i have observed is that opening up people from the 'traditional' thought, but not 'watering down' the focus on the teachings of Jesus is good, but does drive some people away. Also observed that just 'watering it down' is usually big step towards closing the doors.bloke wrote:' played a gig at a church this morning, the denomination of which - particularly since a reuniting of two factions (basically a takeover of one by the other) about twenty years ago - has become more and more watered down in its theology, and in its expression of its theology.
- A prayer asking for forgiveness of their many sins included (very near the top of the list) "thoughtlessly wasting resources".![]()
'snip'
bloke "who played well, and was paid well"
off topic....why are they wasteing money on radio adds instead of feeding the hungry, clothing the nekid, etc.?
Update: our wind ensemble performance at both services was very well recieved.

It's a white Christmas after all here in the Northlands, and many other places as I'm told. Safe travels to all if you have to go out.
