Subject: RE: congregational singing of folk songs
Cluin, our church does beer too. Not typically on Sunday morning, but last year, when we dedicated out new labyrinth (which I desinged for the church) I did the traditional blessing of pouring some alcohol on it. Since it was a labyrinth, I chose Ouzo owing to the early Greek connection with the labyrinth. Of course, I pour it sparingly on the labyrinth, but afterwards, in our coffeehour (on Sunday morn) I set out 3 bottles for people to have. Many people imbibed and all 3 bottles were finished (some even put it in their coffee, which I think is a waste of good ouzo. . .)
