Huddersfield Choral Society is not a Christian group
Ingrid promoted the Huddersfield Choral Society recently on her site. Thanks to Ian, who actually lives in Huddersfield, he points out that this is not a Christian group. Here is his comment to Ingrid, which was not posted:
My goodness, how did my little town of Huddersfield get on this website! They are indeed an excellent choir, I saw them perform live recently in the town square and it was a fantastic performance.
One question though Ingrid, and I mean this in all sincerity: This choral society is a secular society - it is not associated with any church or ministry, its requirements for membership is based on musical skill not religious belief or lifestyle. I personally have no problem with this, they are a talented group and I enjoy listening to their performances, even more so if they are singing songs of worship to my God. However, I’m surprised at you promoting them after your recent post on Sinead ‘O Connar’s psalms set to music?”
Would Ingrid promote a cd done by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir? Even if they did the old hymns?
Personally, I love the old hymns and would love to see them brought back into worship.

As someone who lives in England, admittedly a few miles away from Huddersfield, I would have gladly informed Ingrid of the fact that many of the members of this choir are not in any way affiliated with Christianity (rolls eyes)

Would Ingrid promote this cd if it was a choir of practicing homosexuals?

“Would Ingrid promote this cd if it was a choir of practicing homosexuals? ”
Only if they didn’t go to movies.

Rick, LOL!
May I add to your qualifiers?
As long as they didn’t go to movies, or wear their hats backwards, or drink too much coffee, or drive an SUV.

Or have a bible study in a pub.
I have a friend who studied a semester in England. After Bible study, everyone went to the pub. It freaked him out.

If it were a black choir, I bet she’d hate it

CP,
I doubt race by itself is a factor for Ingrid, its whether or not you believe and do things exactly she does. If you don’t then you’re an emergent, purpose driven Catholic.

And I pronounce Ingrid a liberal. I believe in baptizing embyos, a step ahead of infants!

She did describe a gospel choir as “fanny shaking” music.

I did not know Ms. Crosby liked a beat.

Proverbs 18: 8. The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man’s inmost parts.
