I read what Brother Strange said, and this wasn't just the gripey rantings of some set-in-his-ways old man who only likes funeral music...he was discerning something far deeper--and you're going to disparage that?
I don't think it matters what songs were sung or who was singing them...it was a spiritual concern that disturbed Bro. Strange. What he was essentially saying was that something crucial seems to have been lost over the years. Should he be held in contempt for that? Even if you don't agree, can't people respect an elder's heartfelt concerns...and maybe (just maybe) look within to see if he has a point? I think it would be wise.

Right on the money, Polaris.
No room for wisdom in some quarters around here.
Mickey Mangun sung a "Leaning On The Everlasting Arm." It was anointed and sung with deep feeling. I sprung to my feet and acted like I was about to be raptured. LOL.... It was like a drink of spring water after walking across the desert. I could not contain myself.
I heard the joyful sound...
Psa 89:15 Blessed [is] the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
