  • wfhanna1wfhanna1
    but don't you think it would be more powerfull if 30 deacons, plus 30 other men from the congregation, plus 30 women sing will me a LOT more powerfull ;D
  • G.J.IG.J.I

    for that verse, bishops have said over and over again that it does not apply to singing, just other church matters. and u have to look at wat was happening and y Paul was writing that

    Exactly. In fact, ANba David encourages girls to lift up their voices and sing the hymsn in church. He believes that if you em, sing em.

    I agree with you guys, singing is really really important. If you can sing you should because its a great expression of your love to God by joining in entreating His mercy and praising Him. If we don't then we miss a great blessing.... 8)

    God bless,

    I'll be honest sleepy, this is not open mindedness, it is quite unorthodox to restrict people from worship in that way... Its is not just a right but an obligation that the whole congregation should involve themselves in worship not just the priest and deacons.

    God bless,

    Yes it is open-mindedness for the fact that there are deacons who discriminate against girls and tell them to lower their voices during prayer...at least in my church anyway...
    So when we can find people such as yourself who do encourage girls to raise their voices in prayer it is open-minded. ;)

    actually sleepy, its not just decons, its the congregation as well. a friend of mine was trying to steer the decons in the right direction, (the leaders werent there and it was all young decons and they were really going off) and then a lady in back of her tells her to be quiet and that she was the one that was wrong. how unfair was that?!
  • wfhanna1wfhanna1
    ouch that is not cool
  • sleepymusiciansleepymusician
    Yea, I do know what you mean because ironically, it's happened from the priest's wife before, and she should be the one encouraging along with her husband.

    Hymns are to praise God with and we use song with them. That's why they are called "hymns" because they involve music, however, praises are the ones that should be spoken because they aren't meant to be sang.
