Thoughts on a choir

The parish choir is a community, someone mentioned that it is a microcosm of the Church. The choir members gather with a purpose, with a real belonging to each other for this purpose of leading in worship. It ideally acts as a community open to others, although sometimes it faces its biggest challenges in that aspect. There is freedom, there's not a heck of a lot of pretense, and a Pharisee-type will be seriously challenged. This experience really changes the way I experience the liturgy and I hope it changes the way you do, too!
