#it makes me so sad every time I live near a church with gorgeous carillon bells and know I'll never even consider membership there

Why can't the churches with choirs and pipe organs and stained glass windows have a bit more theological rigor??

#i am constantly forced to reject churches with beautiful music and sanctuaries I can see myself getting married in #in favor of rigorous theology #and like. i will every time #but how it that fair?? #i maintain that truly beautiful churches and stained glass windows and pipe organs should belong by right #to Christians committed to taking the Bible seriously #it makes me so sad every time I live near a church with gorgeous carillon bells and know I'll never even consider membership there #bc i see the titles of their sermons on the signpost out front every week and *yikes dudes I'm praying for you* #or like that time i was invited to come sing in the choir at a church where both my voice teacher and my choir director were involved #like. a church regionally famous for having a truly fantastic choir #and obviously had to turn them down because I've read their what we believe page and they only mention 2/3 of the trinity #why can't a girl have it all????? #honestly this is the most compelling reason imo to move back to southern California #lots of beautiful Presbyterian churches with sound theology AND choirs and organs and beautiful sanctuaries #but alas #i am here #and so i suffer #(I'm being dramatic. I'm sure whatever church God has for me will be great) #but also #just #sigh #can't a reformed girlie want a pipe organ? as a treat? #pontifications and creations #new adventures #sunday school kid
