Would you dismiss a Sunday School Teacher or an Assistant Pastor for being carnal? I mean, what is it that a musician or singer would do that would require "dismissing?"
I think we would do well to remember that most musicians and singers are volunteers, they don't get paid for what they do, and they are volunteering their service to God--not only for service, but for practice during the week and before church. Often musicians and singers are the most taken for granted and taken advantage of.
"I don't think that musicians and singers, when they are human (as opposed to "spiritual"), are any more human than any other person in the church." Perhaps its just more noticeable since they are up front in the public eye. And of course, that means more is expected of them.
