I try not to be their enemy, and try to remember the church we all attend already has a preacher, and doesn't need one sitting at--and preaching from--the organbench. Indeed, that would call for the casting of stones. Or hymnals, maybe? We all have to get over ourselves, I suppose, pew-people and organbench-people alike.

Yes, there are lessons for organists hidden in the piece. But, there is a lesson for the congregation as well. There are a lot of times when I stop singing for one reason or another, or my wife isn't present - and she sings loudly - that the congregation can somehow read a rubric of "whisper" into the hymnal. Of course, we're talking about Lutherans here - those who prefer to sit while singing "Stand up, stand up for Jesus!" Go figure! God bless! My wife, a church musician, and I found this humorous.
