Spirit Jam

This group will be helping co-ordinate a "Spirit Jam" at the More Franchises conference of the United Church in June, 2010. Leave your suggestions here concerning what instrument you play; when a good time(s) to get together during the conference might be; what music we might play;  if you have any music you would like to share with the participants; and any logistical concerns.

Secret Society to Outlaw Organs Everywhere Today!

RevJamesMurray suggested the idea of this group in a post, so I decided to create it!

This is the group for clergy, lay people, members of congregations, every day joes and jills, and anyone else, who wants to see the church move away from the droning boring old organs and organ music, to modern, dynamic, relevant, exciting music in worship!

The statistics are clear, churches ARE moving away from the organ. Sales of new organs have been dropping for the last 20 years. So many organs are being removed from old churches that homes can't be found for them. More than 90% of new churches are built without organs.

It is time for the United Church and like churches with more mainstrem theology to move to modern music. We can't let the conservative churches have all the good music!

This is a group for people who hereby dedicate themselves to fostering the move from the organ to the guitar and other instruments, out in the open, or quietly behind the scenes!
