Southern Baptist Seminarian Says It "Divisive" To Leave Church Over Music

On the Jan 12, 2007 edition of the Albert Mohler Program, there was an interesting discussion about several Virginia congregations withdrawing from the Episcopal Church.

Russell Moore of Southern Baptist Seminary said that, while the move is legitimate, it would be the sin of divisiveness and faction to leave a church over the matter of music.

I ask you dear reader, why must those cherishing the great hymns of the faith sit there and subject their ears to idiotic lyrics or salacicous rhythms?

Why isn't it just sometimes classier to sneak out the door never to return?

Would Dr. Moore rather these ecclesio-beatniks be run out of town on the next train?

Were that to occurr, those like him would probably lecture the rest of us as to how it is our duty to submit to those so much more "spiritual" than the rest of us.
