But I keep wondering if it might not be better if some of them became, say, juvenile probation officers.
Don't we, after all, believe that faith should be in action outside the walls of the church building?
And, trust me, there's a need.

I've been breaking into wild peals of laughter lately
The reason: WDAC.
Specifically, the "music."
For instance, there was the man with The Most Bombastic Voice I Have Heard In Eons, who was soloing on "Immortal, Invisible." But apparently majestic wasn't to his taste, because both his styling and the accompaniment were decidedly bouncy.
Yes, bouncy. Blithe, cutesy, careless -- you name it, he was going for it. In staccato.
I howled.
Then there was the male quartet composed of people who A. didn't have good voices, B. didn't blend and C. evinced a fondness for baroque gospel t
echniques.
And the one in which Someone decided it would be ethereal and inspiring to have a light soprano hovering musically above the chorus. It might have worked if said soprano had any sense of timing whatsoever.
And all the ones where they decide the melody everyone knows is boring, so they pick a random different one and sing it double speed, with odd pauses to keep you on your toes.
I grew up with WDAC, and over the years heard it turn more contemporary. All of this appeared, surprisingly, to be more conservative, so I'm thinking they realized they were going to lose all the contemporary people to other stations and tried to return to their base. I'm not going to argue that. But someone needs to send them a memo that conservative doesn't have to equal flat-out awful.
Then again -- I'm out of WDAC's area most of the time these days. Maybe it just seems particularly egregious because I haven't heard it for a while?
