  • Organists are...

    Sometimes there are issues with church organists.

    You hear about it when people say that organists are arrogant (e.g. don't want to listen to any feedback),
    others believe that organists know-it-all (e.g. tell everyone what they do is good),
    it has been said that organists lack sensitivity (e.g. when playing without feeling),
    and the hardest one is that the organist is not musical (e.g. when playing not rhythmic).

    Whether this is valid or not... what are organists ultimately?
    They are servants. And as servants organists are great!

    This is what Martin Luther King, Jr. said:

    Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve.

    You don't have to have college degree to serve.

    You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve.

    You only need a heart full of grace.

    A soul generated by love. 

    An organist with a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love... as long as organists have this, then all of the other "organist issues" will be resolved automatically!
