for people, like Marty Haugen, who are educated beyond their intellect.
Michael Tinkler helps out a non-coreligionist in need:
A point about Marty Haugen and the Navajo singer –
The person he is quoting is PERFORMING THE RITUAL – in
other words, is the analogue of a priest, not of a
member of a congregation, or even a ‘music minister’.
In other words, it’s a really stoooopid analogy. YES,
priests should sing (though you or your brother
mentioned non-singing priests sometime not too long
ago).
