I suppose I should qualify my statements. I like the church we attend, I love the people there, I have great respect for the pastoral team. I did not mean my comments as a condemnation. I just want to register the feeling I had. They probably didn't intend the purposes I ascribed to them.

But that said, the way it came across to someone who sees modern sound and video equipment as less than desirable, was as crassly materialistic.
