The Church Is Not a Building, But What Happens in the Building Builds the Church
Last updated on: May 24, 2020 at 12:29 pm By Jonathan Aigner
Everyone get your cigarette lighter handy and sing along, observing proper social distance, of course! I am the church! You are the church! We are the church together! All who follow Jesus, all around the world! Yes, we’re the church together! The church is not a building, the church is not a steeple, the church is not a resting place, the church is a people. The writers of this stupid little ditty (Yes, someone intended this to be a serious... Read more

Worship IS Essential, But So Is Loving Your Neighbor
Last updated on: May 23, 2020 at 4:34 pm By Jonathan Aigner
Since yesterday, when the President of the United States proclaimed churches to be essential, I have seen two major themes emanating from my Christian Facebook friends and pages I follow.

Churches are, in fact, essential, and should be allowed to reopen, because the government can’t tell the Church what to do. Since Christians can worship anywhere, and since God’s work can continue...

Hymns of Hope and Comfort: Hail the Day that Sees Him Rise
Last updated on: April 21, 2020 at 2:09 pm By Jonathan Aigner
During this time of fear and uncertainty in the COVID-19 wilderness, I’ve decided to do something a little different. I’m going to be daily using my blog to share texts and videos of hymns that pass along hope and comfort until the restrictions are lifted, and we can worship in our buildings once again. I hope you find them to be encouraging and edifying during this time. Take care, everyone. Wash your hands. And keep the faith. Here’s St. Bartholemew’s... Read more

Singing Together Could Still Be Dangerous, So Keep Your People Safe
Last updated on: May 14, 2020 at 9:51 pm By Jonathan Aigner
Patheos Evangelical blogger and Professor of Literature emeritus Gene Veith proclaimed this week that “Singing is unlikely to spread COVID-19.” He apparently came to this conclusion after reading a couple of German studies, and now he’s ready to jump back into congregational singing, taking other congregations with him. Not so fast. I’ll admit that I have been overwhelmed by the online discussion of this topic since the now-infamous webinar last week hosted by the American Choral Director’s Association, in which...
