That's such a cool, personal idea for a place to do something like this. Wow.
A few years ago, the father of a friend passed away and our choir sung at his memorial service. Nothing religious, just this choral piece he loved deeply, and the minister heading the memorial service gave a lovely speech about what a wonderful guy this man was...and then he started making this huge religous tirade and came
thisclose to making an open altar call. My friend and I (not the girl whose father passed away) just looked at each other mortified, and as we were heading back to school, we just kinda looked at each other and asked "did he really just do that?"
So disrespectful.
