Amazing disgrace

I forgot to mention yesterday an interesting incident that happened at Jamestown. As you know if you read the below post, the group my family and I were in had its own "tour" guide (Mr. Olson) who was telling the history of the settlement from a Christian worldview. Well, to make a long story short. At the end of the tour, before everyone broke up to go explore the areas on their own, Mr. Olson had everyone come into the church to wrap things up (he was giving 15-25 min talks at the three major sites). Well... after his wrap up, overview talk he had the idea of "why don't we sing amazing grace?"


About 1/3 of the way through the song - an “official” rein-actor ran (ran...) into the building looking like he was being chased by cannibals (in his mind he was probably running into a building full of cannibals...) He quickly slid up to the pulpit and whispered something into the guides ear.

"ummmm... " Mr. Olson voice broke in. "They want us to leave folks..."

Hey, I don't blame them. Why, imagine it - people singing in a church. To have the audacity! Heresy! Put them in the stocks!
