If you are going to mention Baptists — you brought it up, not me :-) — well, Baptist music makes sense at a Baptist service. It befits the recognition of Jesus’ once-for-all sacrifice. I could pass on the applause, because it isn’t always clear if it is for God or the musicians. I’m not sure Baptist music makes sense elsewhere. When Baptists want to reflect the holy moment of crucifixion in drama, they do it on Good Friday.
Great.
But do they ever say ‘why don’t we do this the way the Catholics do? No
