From Alan Roxburgh’s book “The Sky is Falling” (which i HIGHLY suggest you purchase and read):
“Luther brought the organ into his congregations because it was the instrument university students used in the beer halls to sing their songs. Luther wanted to communicate the gospel to these students so he brought their instrument into the church and used their music to write hymns.”
My best response to this is, “now THAT is interesting.”
I’m the pastor of The Well in Feasterville, PA about 30 minutes Northeast of Philadelphia; Designer, Programmer, Owner of 343design; Website specialist for MyOhai; Board Member for Lemonade International; Member of the Ecclesia Network; Father of four boys and husband.
Over the years this blog has focused on the the calling of the church in suburban America. This has naturally transitioned into thoughts and questions around the nature of leadership and community life in this unique context.
