Of necessity the church musician is a zealous, eager, and energetic worker who has little time for reflection, contemplation, and philosophic thought. The musicians world is inhabited by free-spirited individuals. The second is a culture that emphasizes groups and hierarchies. The best and most effective ministers of music come from the world of the creative artist. A relatively small number of ministers of music have mastered both worlds.
Musicians resist the boss-subordinate leadership style.
The wise pastor understands the existence of this truth. He recognizes and affirms the native habitat of the creative artist. He sees the conflict in perspective and the values of he and the music minister. Must be willing to trade-off. Does not require everyone to move in the business world.
