I am grieved this is going to take place! If the pastoral staff is aware of the content of the "drama" and are allowing it, I find that intolerable. If they are not aware of it, do I address it prior to Sunday? And if I do address it and they still allow it to continue, then what?
Yes, yes, and yes. If I were there I most certainly would raise the issue, and fast. It is utterly inconceivable that they would allow this hideous thing to come to pass.

If they intend to do it anyway, I would write them a formal letter in which the sin is outlined clearly, in which they are clearly rebuked, and find another place to worship this weekend.
