The music at the Cathedral seems of be of interest to all Sydneysiders given that this article made the front page of the Sydney Morning Herald today. How many people in Sydney really care? My estimate is that it is in the order of 0.0002% of Sydney's population.
What 97% of Sydney like to do is put down preachers of the gospel. That's why it makes the front page.

Front page? Now THAT'S a slow news day...
I was thinking the same thing. Surely there must be more happening in the world!
I love the choir and the organ music and would expect the rich cathedral traditions to be maintained - who listens to jazz anyway??? If the church is moving with the times you better skip the jazz and move straight to hip-hop. How is it that an anglican church leader at any one time can determine what attracts people to church??? What narrow social circles does a minister move in???
Thanks for the comments from one of the 0.0002%. I agree... let's go for the hip-hop! After all, organ music in churches was at one time innovative and we need to reach hip-hop listeners with the gospel.
Most people move in narrow social circles so a good bet is to check out the ARIA and CCLI charts to see what people like listening to...the iTunes store might help as well.
At the end of day we really want people to focus on the word of God and on matters such as music, buildings, dress we need to have the flexibility of our apostle who became all things to all people so that by all possible means he might save some. (1 Cor 9:22).
People put down Christianity for good reason.
It teaches immoral bigotry under the banner of 'love', predicated on the lie of scriptural truth.
Until you have a rational justification for the hateful practice of Christianity, we will continue to lampoon your nonsensical claims about the real world.
Evidence. You still have none, nearly two millenia since 1 Peter 3:15.
We 'put down' Christianity because it is the moral thing to do.
Thanks for the loving concern that I might be following a lie. At the moment I will stick with Paul and his conviction that the resurrection of Jesus from the dead was compelling evidence enough (Acts 17:22-34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-8).
If it happened at all...
But sadly there is no credible objective evidence.
Fly away Peter, fly away Paul
