Buffie, you post away.  That’s what’s wrong here; folks are afraid to say anything for fear of being ridiculed.  I, for one, enjoy information on the singers and do not for one minute tune in to get gossip.  They are human and have things in their life that don’t work out so they get up and keep climbing.  Post away Buffie; we like to hear from you!  Gaileen in Iowa where gossip is buried in the corn rows.

Glad to see that the post that WAS immediately before Gaileen’s got ‘POOFED”.  Was going to comment, but didn’t want to bring attention.  Thanks!

Well actually. Joy was previously married as well as Reba was. Reba was married to Landy Gardner & Joy was married to Dony McGuire. then Dony divorced Joy and Landy divorced Reba. Later on Joy married Landy and Reba married Dony. But Joy & Landy make a great team. Joy went to school with my Grandma. & My Grandma was in Sibil Dyson’s choir(Joy’s mom) I hear they are all very nice. I have no idea about Landy’s history. Just Joy’s. Anyways. There is no need for such controversy. Joy & Landy are great people. Even if Landy gets paid to devote his time to Christ Church which I suppose only him and the pastor know the truth behind. Landy works as an interior decorator as well. surprised]

Does anyone know if it is true that Landy Gardner will no longer be the choir director for Christ Church? If it is true does anyone know why?

I read this thread sometime ago and noted it popped up again on SG Talk.

My mind does a lot of processing when some soul states facts and some other “child of God” is insulted by the facts.

If that is the case, then start tearing out some pages of your Bible, because those things David did are facts, the Gospel truth.

Yes, Landy and Joy have been forced to resign as directors
of Christ Christ.  Church Pastor Dan Scott sights “philisopical
differences” as the reason for their departure and refuses to
elaborate further.  I attended the churches Business meeting
March 23, 2010 and this was annouced.  Its a very sad and
shocking development. Many in the congregation are confused
because its been kept so hush-hush.  Some of us feel it is
a power stuggle amougst those now in power and the Gardners
refusal to go along. The church is
being lead “down a road less traveled” as the pastor calls it.
A road I believe is not travels for a reason…its not a good
road to travel.  This church will now suffer a lost of recognition
and admiration of those in the Gospel music industry that grew to love
and admire Christ Church Choir.  Its powerful arrangements, its high
degree of perfection and heartfelt, soulfilled, ever touching music
is now a drift…unguided on “a road less traveled”  GOD BLESS
WHAT WAS THE SPRITUAL AND WONDERFUL CHRIST CHURCH CHOIR.

Landy and Joy are still listed and pictured on the church’s website.  I know that sometimes it takes a while for sites to get updated.

Yes, the church website remains unchanged in regards to Landy and Joy.
And…their private parking spot still has their name on it. However
sadly under distress, they have resigned. We are all still trying
to get information which has been very limited from the church.
The choir has stopped singing songs from the many CD’s Landy and Joy
produced over the years. For many of us…Its a very sad time. I ask
for everyone’s prayers for Joy and Landy and the Choir during these
uncertain times.

To Newbie02 and anyone else that is concerned about this topic.

Yes, Landy and Joy are no longer choir directors at Christ Church.  I too was at the business meeting and I have very good close friends on staff at the church.  I am also a church member.  It was made very clear at the business meeting that Landy was in no way forced to resign.  The resignation was his decision.  In that business meeting, Pastor Dan informed us of the situation.  He read Landy’s resignation letter to the church and read his response.  He made no accusations.  Landy cited philosophical differences as his reason for resigning.  Pastor Dan did not elaborate.  He was asked what those differences were and his response was that he would not comment.  He would not want to misrepresent the differences that Landy was citing.  No one can accuse him of putting words into anyone’s mouth by handling it the way he did.  It was a picture of Christlike leadership.  We do wish Landy and Joy both the very best.

As far as Christ Church Choir is concerned, they are sounding better than ever and are in the very capable hands of Regi Stone and Christopher Phillips.  The choir has actually grown under the new leadership and has become a conduit of the Holy Spirit in our church.  In short, renewal and revival have started taking place and it started manifesting itself in the choir.  The rehearsals are very much a time of worship and great things are happening in the services.  In short, Christ Church Choir remains one of the best choirs in the country (the best in my humble opinion). 

Now, as to the road less traveled situation.  Pastor Dan Scott preaches the truth (Bible) un-apologetically. In today’s churches (especially those that are very large like Christ Church) that is sometimes a hard thing to find.  In short, many great days are ahead for Christ Church and the Christ Church Choir.

I’m a little irritated with the response buffie got for giving information that the person who started this thread asked for. We as christians should not be attacking anyone, and to my perception that is what happened. It was rude and uncalled for and I think Buffie is owed an apology. It is also not up to us as Christians to make sure of anyones motives with such unkindness. I am pretty appalled. I havent read this site for along time. The only reason I came on here tonight is because I wanted to find out about Tony Green’s passing. To be honest, I am a Christian, but the last few years I have stopped praying, stopped going to church, and felt pretty hopeless about my life. I am in a miserable marriage my husband is very verbally and mentally abusive. I have NO one to turn to. Except God that is. I have realized alot of things in reflecting about the state of numbness I have been existing in, and that is that I need to get back to the Lord.  I am asking please be careful of how you treat others on here and other places. If I hadnt been born and raised Christian I might be very turned off by Christianity after reading some of the ways people are talking to one another. Thanks.

Hi Rosieposie99.  I see the above was your first post.  You said some true things.  However, I think you should check the dates of the postings - the original was almost 2 years ago.  These folks are probably long gone from this site.  Just let this topic fade away.
