I am not sure about synogogue's today... But we do have a precentor at our church, RPCNA....
I guess my question is:
Is it a biblical office? And is it a continuational office from the Old Covenant? and What would be the qualifications of the Office?
I guess the thread on Offices dealing with Woman Deacons vs. Order of Widows as me rethinking my whole understanding of church offices... Which as a Baptist as always been two, Elder and Deacons and last year changed to three, Elders, Deacons, and Doctors and now it has me thinking, Elders, Deacons, Doctors, Order of Widows, and Precentors (Chief Musician).
