This film from Pep Organ explores a crucial question: What should organists play in church? Too often, organists are left to choose their music without much thought to how it impacts the church community and the worship atmosphere. While personal expression and musical skill are important, the music played in church should be in service of the congregation, helping to create a space for reflection, connection, and reverence. This discussion encourages us to consider the role of the organist not just as a performer, but as a key part of the worship experience.
