Is not the inherently didactic nature of hymns one of the reasons they are loved?


But that’s part of the problem. Many congregations no longer use hymns to teach and admonish. So, naturally, they have no objections to female singers. The hymns they sing are merely mood altering entertainment.

Churches that stick to bible texts have the right idea. Hymns must teach the sacred word. And that is an exercise of the authority of the gospel.
