"The Other Side of the Keyboard"

I'm reading Milton Jones' book, The Other Side of the Keyboard. It's a short read, written in a conversational, easy-to-read format.

I'm very encouraged that Milton took the time and energy to write this.

After being a cofC-lifer and an involved member of a cofC for over 9 years that acknowledged a cappella worship as a traditional heritage (not a matter of salvation), I still believe the mistake we made was not enough open study about what is still a very sensitive subject to many good people in the congregation. And secondly, not being consistently bold in our recognition of a cappella worship as a tradition.

We made the mistake of trivializing an issue that probably should be trivial IMHO, but shouldn't be made so by leadership without some very clear and upfront communication with members.

At any regard, this book is probably a great basis for a study.

Btw, Milton is a speaker this year at the Tulsa Workshop, and at one of his sessions he'll talk about the merger of the Northwest Church of Christ and the Shoreline Christian Church in Seattle.
