Notes from reading he feedback:
- Most of the "for it" feedback was shallow, short and without any support other than "I like it" or "it's the best"
- Some of the negative feedback was shallow too, many were thoughtful and respectful
- The one long review from June 14, 2023 was one of the most balanced and thoughtful and was in favor of using the book
- The most energetic responses were against replacing the red and black hymn books, even if we did also purchase the Anthem song books
- None of the reviews included biblical evaluations of what worship or music is supposed to be
- Many seemed in favor of using the song book without purchasing for each row
- I think teaching on worship and music is needed at the chapel
- I agree that we cannot chase down the lives of everyone who has written a song to evaluate them for sinlessness. On the other hand, if, without any effort, we already know of the horrible sins of some of the song writers, I think we should carefully consider whether we'll sing those songs or not. "Negligible" royalty fees add up to enriching such authors and throwing our portion to them seems unwise.
- I agree with one reviewer who asked to understand the reasons behind the desire to switch. Personally, I don't know what those reasons are either and I think they should be carefully understood before considering switching.
- Considering only people's feelings for the moment: I think we'd do the _most_ injury if we replaced the current books with the new one completely. Almost everyone appears to be onboard with incorporating songs from Anthem without purchasing them for every row and replacing the current hymnals.
