[Trombone-l] Of new trombone quintets

[Jason Smith]

"Organs and pianos are the standard instruments used
in Church 
meetings. If other instruments are used, their use
should be in keeping with 
the spirit of the meeting. Instruments with a
prominent or less 
worshipful sound, such as most brass and percussion,
are not appropriate for 
sacrament meeting."

What church handbook is this from.  This has got to be
the biggest bunch of hooey I have ever seen.  The
trombone as many music historians would tell you got
its "start" playing in church as early as 11th or
twelveth century or sooner(I'm going from memory). 
I'll be quiet now sorry for the rampage.
