A fairly frivolous observation, although no doubt a symptom of something else:
I’ve been to 18 different churches so far during this sabbatical, and noticed a close connection between the worship being led by a band and the preacher not wearing a tie. (All the preachers have been men, by the way).
Not counting Solace or Gateway Café, where there was no music (and in each case the person leading did not wear a tie), here are the other results:
In four churches there was a tie and no band.
In eleven churches there was a band and no tie.
The only church that bucked the trend was Bethel Penyrheol, when Owen was preaching, was the solo musician did not wear a tie!
