A bonus!
The church I mentioned in the other post here was purchased by a minister who considers his church to be what I'd call legalistic.
Consequently and sadly enough, he thought the gorgeous stained glass windows were a violation of scripture. Idolatry. Graven images. He had all the SG removed.
And the organ looked near exactly like that in the picture above. That was gone too.
Now, they have a really cheap store type organ, a snare drum, and a bass guitarist playing music a member of their congregation drafted.
How do I describe it. Hmmmm. OK, imagine a collection of crows and long tailed wet cats occupying the same room. And each group is vying to be heard above the other as they each sing songs with very short repetitive lyrics and in their God given natural voices. Voices that God didn't create to sing songs with very short repetitive voices....and off key. While the snare drum is the loudest of all.
Yeah. The giant gorgeous organ had to go.

I can see his worry as these Cathedrals often fall into the legalistic grips of those beneath it. Trapped in tradition even if tradition isn't Biblical.
