I haven't sung in public since March 13 (makes me mad/sad). It's par for the course though with my BIL; he substitutes charm for responsibility and doesn't think things through. Most of the time he falls on his feet so maybe he will this time, as well.
Here's hoping he doesn't harm himself or his audiences.
At least Julep's brother isn't in a position of leadership where people look up to him for wisdom.
I have zero sympathy for them OR their flock. I don't wish more trouble on them; I wouldn't have to if I wanted to. They're wishing it on themselves.
I've been to church two times in my entire life and that was two times too many. What I get from church goers is that church is more of a social activity than anything else. The god part of it is almost superfluous. It's more about being with friends and chatting about stuff. Covid keeps them from their tribal get together.
