In my experience, this is not a "liberal" or "conservative" issue. Many very conservative churches have a very high level of tolerance for abberant behavior from front line musicians and singers, while many moderate or liberal churches demand a much more uniform level of conformity with the congregation. And vice-versa.
It is indeed a pastoral issue.
I would like to add, however, that among us labor men and women of excellent spirit who minister to us with music each week. I was mentored by one such, and will forever by grateful to him for his godly example of daily sacrifice and devotion to both his God and his music ministry.
There remains greatness among us. We should celebrate it!
