There are some who question the practice of many modern churches that have darkened most of their auditoriums in favor of alternate stage lighting. Opponents of this say it's just "theatrics." They say, "they're just putting on a show." Is this a fair judgement? Or are there legitimate reasons for this type of lighting that these people simply don't understand? As the AV Director at my church, I hope to "shed some light" on this topic so that it makes sense to everyone.
