I myself see no place for either of these in worship, but my fiancee' favors the children's choir because she believes that it teaches them sound, basic doctrine in a memorable manner.

I see both of them as a means of distraction during worship that places our attention on a specific individual or group of individuals. Perhaps I am being some sort of prude, but I disagree with their presence in worship.

Has anyone else suffered through this practice, or do others find it to be acceptable?
