Tabernacle Choir broadcast celebrates 80 years
9 comments | Read story
Nearly 1% of Choir members are black, but that's not too bad for the Wasatch Front. Maybe they should fly people in from other locations two or more times per week to achieve true diversity. By the way, just how do you determine the "cultural diversity" of Choir members by hearing them sing or seeing them on TV?
Would you propose that race or culture be a consideration when auditioning people for the Choir? How is that any different than considering race or culture when allowing someone to join the Church or be ordained to the Priesthood? Any worthy Church member who fits within the age and distance restrictions can try out for the Choir. Caring about the skin color of Choir members (or Church members) is, by definition, racist.
