... he couldn't stand the thought of the church being silent

Beinahe ein Fall von Kirchenschwinden, hätte Willie Nelson sich nicht in letzter Minute der Methodistenkirche seiner Kindheit erbarmt. Jetzt wird in Abbott, TX weiter gesungen und gepredigt.
While his own involvement will be very minimal, Nelson said he decided to buy the property because he couldn't stand the thought of the church being silent.

"We sang, and my sister played piano here," Nelson said. "My grandmother brought us, and we came every Sunday, every Monday and Wednesday."

He said the church will remain a community church, and will not become an entertainment venue.

"It will be just like we had today — a little singing, a little preaching," he said.
