This is wrong on so many levels. Give me the fixed palette of the regulative principle.

This was spotted in The Wave: Quarterly Magazine of the Anglican Mission (June 2009). The caption on the picture reads:

"Deacon Lisa Schwandt, Pastor of Worship Arts, plays the character of the Parable Princess for children's worship."

The attached article, "Worship Arts at HopePointe" says it all in the first paragraph:

"Creative expression through the ministry of Worship Arts has been part of the DNA of HopePointe since the Rev. Clark Lowenfield became Lead Pastor five years ago. 'When you begin a new church, you have a blank palette and endless possibilities to work from. Our people were really open to the arts coming in,' shares the Rev. Lisa Schwandt, Deacon and Pastor of Worship Arts." [emphasis added]

The Regulative Principle: The Scriptures are the “only infallible rule of faith and practice, no rite or ceremony ought to have a place in the public worship of God, which is not warranted in Scripture, either by direct precept or example, or by good and sufficient inference” (Samuel Miller).
