[CS-FSLUG] open source worship songs

[Yama Ploskonka]

In the Camping Industry (of which I am a proud, ahem, Industrialist), we 
are trying to get us to be taken outside of the "recreation" label and 
into the "education" one.  Many reasons for that.  First, it gives it 
seriousness to the profession.  I'd rather be an "educator" than an "kid 
entertainer", which the recreation label implies, as useless time, while 
education is quite justifiable even to classical education parents (the 
medium I swim in).

Then, there is the money.  Education pursuits can get money, lots of it. 
  Parents can file their expenses, helping their taxes.  You get grants. 
  No surprise that more and more "camps" are now "Outdoor Education 
Centers".  Then, of course, our using of songs falls then under 
"educational".

Alan, not "research", but "education" is the trick word we need to take 
over.  If a sermon is not meant to be education, what else is it? (OK, 
encouragement, and all of 2Tim 3:16)

I say, let's rename our halls, to "Christian Education Centers", call us 
a nonprofit education center instead of that fluffy "religion" that 
nowadays seems to make no sense, and on with "fair Use"

:-) :-)
