I must say it really irks me when the pastor misses most of the praise and worship part of the worship service. It seems that's more and more the norm these days. I guess I'm spoiled in that the church we were apart of years ago, the pastors(DH included) were all on the front row when services started.
Whenever DH has been asked to speak at a church and I accompanied him, we were always worshipping right there with the congregation. There's no way I would have stayed in the back while hearing everybody else worshipping.
Honestly, it puts a bad taste in my mouth and I've experienced this in small churches and mega churches where the pastor doesn't come out until the middle or near the end of worship. Isn't that apart of assembling together, voices raised in one accord? I know it's not all churches, but there is such a superstar mentality in many churches where a grand entrance needs to be made. The older I get the less tolerance I have for some of what's deemed as church culture. Just a little vent lol.
