Choirs: Why Bother?

http://www.worshipleader.com/feature_e.htm

[Worship Leader] 3 Aug 2006--Don’t look now, but the local church choir is alive and well! To be sure, the prognosis appeared shaky for a while. In years past church-growth gurus and seeker-sensitivity sages all but condemned churches with choirs to the trash heap of irrelevance. Thankfully, the recent success of such worship-leading choirs as those at the Brooklyn Tabernacle and Christ Church in Nashville (among others) has put the naysayers on notice. Even Willow Creek Community Church, that venerable exemplar of removing all vestiges of religious tradition, trots out a choir every so often these days.
