A steady diet of performances by soloists or even choirs can have the unintended effect of undermining the corporate, participative nature of our musical worship. People can gradually come to think of worship in terms of passive observation, which we do not see modeled in the Bible. Such a diet may also begin to blur the line between worship and entertainment, especially in a television-sopped culture like ours, where one of our most insidious expectations is to be always entertained. Of course, this blurring is hardly ever intended. But over time, separating the “performers” from “the rest of the congregation” can subtly shift the focus of our attention from God to the musicians and their talent – a shift that is frequently revealed by applause at the end of some performance pieces. Who is the beneficiary of such applause? (Mark Dever and Paul Alexander).

Cut the fish into serving size chunks.  Scrub all the shellfish but leave
their shells intact.  Cut up the lobster and remove the shells.  Combine
the olive oil, wine, saffron and garlic. Marinate the seafood in the olive
oil mixture until needed. To prepare, pour the fumet over the fish and
marinade mixture. Cook the angel hair pasta in salted boiling water until
al dente. Simmer until the shells (on clams, oysters, scallops or mussels)
open. Place the angel hair in the bottom of a soup bowl. Pour the broth and
seafood over it. Garnish with the blanched julienned vegetables. Serve with
small rounds of toast coated with Sauce Rouille.
