I totally cracked up--and loudly--reading this comment, especially the bit about Stephen Hatfield's tattoo and nipple rings!
I think a lot of singers/conductors who work with secular groups in churches/synagogues forget that some people consider the spaces sacred in and of themselves. I think my current director doesn't forget that, which makes our rehearsals a bit more...tame than I would expect of a chorus of 20-and 30-somethings with a huge gay contingent (including aforementioned director).
Still, I agree that God must have a sense of humor!
How about this quote (from my college choir director): "God loves us just as much when we sing in tune as when we sing out of tune."
