I come back to my original statement - if churches are associated with personal bad stuff, stay out of them. If it's vicarious offence, the abstract kind of three-hundred-years-ago business, or they're anti-scientific, or brain-stealing places, stay away but don't preach, they work for lots of people on different levels. I've had bad experiences in churches and positive ones and the negative stuff was always associated with individuals who used their dogma to justify their predispositions and I refuse to allow that stuff to seep into the architecture or the music. There's a definite rise in the latter kind of taking offence on behalf of science or humanity or whatever fashionable bugbear the party imagines.
