421.0. "Women Song Leaders During Service?!" by AIMHI::JMARTIN () Mon Feb 28 1994 11:05

    	
    	I am now a member of our Churches Music Committee.  I was 
    	given the honor of coordinating music leader roles in our
    	worship services.  There are currently four of us, one who 
    	mostly fulfills this role while the three of us do it on 
    	occasion.
    
    	In an effort to get others involved, I am going to post a note 
    	on our bulliten board stating if anybody is interested in the
    	role of song leader, please call me.
    
    	Bottom line question.  Is it protocol for women to perform this
    	role?  I personally don't see it as an issue buit I do go to a 
    	traditional New England Baptist church.  Great bunch of people 
    	but there could be resistence.
    
    	I am particularly interested in comments from those against 
    	this.  The song leader does spend alot of time during the 
    	service setting a tone for worship so there is alot of exposure.
    	It's not an issue of ability, it's an issue of gender roles
    	in the service.
    
    	Thanks for the feedback!

    Jack,
    
    What does your *Pastor* think?  He's the leader of your church, consult
    him... regardless of what anyone else things in here, following the
    Pastor is most important.

    Good Point.  I haven't talked to him yet but I was planning to.  I'm
    sure you, Nancy, would make a beautiful song leader!!!
