Recently, the Voices of Lee sang at a Donald Trump rally. Somewhat of a controversy ensued after the Director, Danny Murray, put a selfie of him and Donald on Facebook. The post and thread have been removed but not before significant resistance from several students, former students and former Voices members.Should Lee university use its talented ministry and music students to support political candidates? Did this rally raise money for Trump?What if Bernie or Hillary asked the Voices to perform? Would those candidates receive the same endorsement and support?
Absolutely Not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the first time I have been disappointed in my Alma Matter. They festival choir was criticized for singing at the Inaugaration, but that was the President, like him or not, respect the office. As far as Trump, he’s a racist hack. I still think Lee is the best University in America, and Voices of Lee are second to none________________
Lee should sing at every political rally they are invited to – including Hillary Clinton. And Danny Murray should get his picture with all of them.As long as the Voices get to choose the songs they sing – what is the problem?Don’t the supporters of Trump or Hillary need to hear about Jesus________________
You can only play if invited.If you show up uninvited – you are probably arrested________________
If Danny Murray did it, I’m pretty much for it.
Danny Murray is the premier worship leader of the Church of God. He and a few other extraordinary worship leaders are at the pinnacle of excellence. He has always seemed to be able to flow with the Spirit, all while finding those songs that bless everyone, and not just the edgiest or fuddy-duddiest folks. If he went–and as NBF said, he would have had to have been invited–I’m good with that, so long as they don’t displease the Lord…of which I am confident that if Murray felt a check in his spirit, he would have followed whatever the Spirit wanted.Joseph, Nehemiah, Daniel, and others served kings that were heathen and perhaps even worse.
