From Lutheran preacher and professor Edmund Steimle, quoted in Tom Long's Testimony: Talking Ourselves into Being Christian: "A good sermon is not a beautiful package with a pretty bow tied by the preacher. A good sermon is like rings on the surface of a lake when the preacher has gone down in deep water."
From Bill Payne, our beloved SVC conductor, during last night's rehearsal of the Gounod Messe Solennelle: "Remember, this guy composed opera. Piano is more of an attitude than a dynamic. Think like you're singing piano at the Met."
