Southern Baptists to Invade the UK!
Posted by Chuck Grantham on July 2, 2008
Actually, it’s more scary than that. The CenturyMen, a men’s choir made up of one hundred Southern Baptist Ministers of Music, has a Baptist Heritage Mission Tour through England, Scotland, and Wales July 6-14, 2008.
I know of this particularly because my local Minister of Music, Gary Anglin (not this one, the one with white grey distinguished hair who just might be in photo 12 of the CenturyMen gallery), is a member of the choir, and was preparing to leave our fair city after Prayer Meeting tonight for the English Isles.
It’s a tough job Gary has. What can I say?
If you want to avoid the experience of one hundred SBC Ministers of Music in a Dove and Grammy award- nominated choir singing for you, your best bet is to consult the tour calendar here. If you want to warn friends and relatives of the dangers, your best bet is to send them some sample CDs.
You Anglicans haven’t kept Bishop Wright at home in Durham, so now we Southern Baptists are making a small tactical strike back at you. And any hint that one hundred Southern Baptist pastors are planning to keep the CenturyMen stuck in an airport in the UK endlessly like Tom Hanks inTerminal is strictly baseless gossip.

Chuck –
It is simply no fair to make a post like this without giving a rating of each of the CenturyMen’s CDs. So, let’s have it, sir — which is your favorite?
Chuck Grantham said
Uhm. True Confessions time: I never heard of them before tonight.
So you can go listen to the samples and make as good a judgement as me.
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Iyov said
OK, then here’s my next question — can you please Gary Anglin why he holds his water bottles in an inverted position?
Chuck Grantham said
I think it is an empty water bottle, and the inverted position has something to do with being deprived of toys when he was young.
You should see him around cardboard boxes.
