Sometimes it takes a long time to get feedback from articles I write.
These days the accessibility of the internet means that responses are becoming a more common feature — and to articles I’ve even forgotten I wrote!
I got rather a sharp rap on the knuckles a fortnight ago for an article I wrote in 2008 about organs and organists which has only now come back to bite me. The rough idea behind the piece was to say that if an organist’s post becomes vacant in a Bible-teaching church, then it’s not absolutely necessary to fill the post just because an organ is sitting there pining for attention, especially if there is no organist available who loves the Lord Jesus and who is keen to serve the proclamation of God’s Word. The conclusion was that there ‘might, just might be another way’.
