Well, yeah, but I guess I'm just trying to say that I'm happy with my own
leaders of worship. Indeed, if the OtR band wished to groove on this sort
of thing, more power to 'em. I always just feel wary about making
assumptions about God's role for people in their home churches.

That's wonderful. Good for y'all. Everyone _is_ different,
indeed.

Sure, why not? If the Spirit moves 'em, that'd be pretty groovy. I still
listen to the Violet Burning's _Strength_ a great deal. But you know, I'd
really much rather see them go whereever their music is taking them.
Kind of like at live concerts - I _want_ a band to play some old, obscure
favorite that only 10% of the venue has heard, but I don't tend to yell it
out generally because I came to hear what the band wants to play for me
and my fellow listeners. If the progression of a band's music is a
journey, then I want to hear where they are.
